I know from experience that when people love you- really love you- they can end up in peril. So a long time ago, I resolved to date only people who didn’t quite love me. It’s not that they didn’t like me, but there was no possibility of making any kind of major effort or sacrifice on my behalf. To this day, I prefer a partner who values himself more than he values me. That way I can protect us both.

It is really fucking sad that it should take loss to know the precise quality of love.

But here is the nature of life. That we must love things with our whole selves, knowing they will die.

Is this how you feel after being swept in on a current? Will you change shape and put down roots? Or carry on in search of somewhere better?
