We hear it again and again: relationships require compromise.

But what happens when you realize you’ve been letting your own identity slip away, for the benefit of a relationship?

Today’s story comes to us from a woman named Dani Harris. It’s about young love and a cross-country road trip, and it shows just how hard it can be to stand up for yourself when you care deeply about another person.

In the Name of Love
Willow Belden and Dani Harris

“It was like I had been shoving my needs inside of a duffel bag, … maintaining my image as a girlfriend who was always easy-going and forgiving.”

— Dani Harris
