It’s a beautiful thing to love your mind in a world that tries to turn it against you

“Where there is the lover and his beloved there is also a third thing, which is the love between them. The love itself has a kind of existence which arises from the relationship”

the scariest thing you can be for halloween is brutally honest and emotionally vulnerable about what you want

I think most people (including me) get way too metaphysical about relationships and lost in questions like “can this person change?” or “why are they doing what they’re doing?” and generally would benefit from focusing more on behavior. like if the behavior is sufficiently concerning you have to just abandon the metaphysics
another way I conceive of this is “terms of engagement.” with most adult you can conduct the relationship on any mutually agreed upon terms you want; resentment happens when you accept terms you don’t actually like. But that’s on you, not them

there’s a point in relationships where it’s like okay you have to stop fighting yourself through me

if it’s not negging, it’s hot & cold behavior. if it’s not omission, it’s a straight up lie. if it’s not a lack of empathy and compassion, it’s outright cruelty. no thank you

And ultimately, relationships are about taking turns. Any relationship where only one person ever gets a turn, to be prioritised, to be helped, to be ill, to be vulnerable, to need, to be…whatever, will ultimately suffer. Because everyone needs and deserves a turn.

Hopefully our mothers showed up to teach us what godly love looks like so we have a foundation of love that doesn’t make vulnerability feel so threatening .. hopefully we can be that for the future (children)
