“Falling in love can create a paralyzing fear of death. We become so much more aware of our mortality and that of our beloved when we are in love. We fear losing them, and life holds more value and purpose. It can be terrifying. But what else matters except opening ourselves to love? It's one of the "whys" of life. It shapes our fullest, most vivid memories.”
