People who are in love don't leave a relationship just because it isn't suiting them.
If anything, that fragility is narcissism.
I would rather know the ugliest, darkest parts of my partner, their deepest hatreds for me, and still stand with them.
Than to not be laid bare in their presence, and theirs in mine.
Love isn't the ship, it's the ocean.
Love is a living thing, it's not static, it decays, it dies, it becomes reborn, it metamorphisizes, it is persistence beyond persistence.
Until one day it isn't.
And even then, if one still stands, it still lives. It still beats in the heart of that one who remains.

@SnailTeeth I think that was the most beautiful thing I've read in a long time ❤

@Matt85 This universe gives us everything and asks nothing. I'm unsure a purer form of love exists, and still we decay and die. We die from the oxygen that gives us life, the sun that nourishes us, and the food we eat. All the things that are provided to sustain our lives.
