How to be a lunatic. View quoted note →

We ask our lovers to do what our parents could not: to love us in the places where we fall short. This is not a flaw in love, but its essence. To love is to be disappointed, and to continue anyway. Men, women — all of us — enter relationships with the fantasy that we will be adored despite our failures. The danger lies not in the wish itself, but in forgetting that love is also a discipline: to grow, to repair, to meet the other halfway. Love is not the avoidance of disappointment, but the art of living with it gracefully.

Pay in advance and regular payment forever.

Maybe the other thing we might know about each other is nobody knows themselves. 😄 View quoted note →
