grateful to have found a person who fits with me so well. it’s a situation that isn’t without occasional flaws and bumps but like .. if it was too perfect it would be weird and unsustainable. there’s a certainty that comes with uncertainty and imperfection. its like oh cool we’re both human people growing and learning.
i’m grateful for the love that makes me blind to everything else.

love is beautiful. love is pure. love is enduring.
i’m not sure if my standards for love are too high, but i worry i don’t mean it. i’d change my character, overcome weaknesses for those i say it to, yet it never feels like enough. i want to embrace someone not only through touch, but through the warmth of my actions and presence.
love knows no bounds. i want to break every single wall a person can put up. still, i know there are limits to love. love is undefined—it is not a singular, universal concept for every person. i fear i can never truly portray my love for another without everything crashing down, whether due to the walls we’ve built to shield ourselves from the world or to passing circumstances.
maybe i’m not concerned about my feelings for others. maybe the words “i love you” don’t quite serve me justice. still, from this new perspective, it’s an affectionate, enkindling acknowledgement to give another—akin to kissing your loved one on the cheek each morning before leaving for work.
love: a word that can be used for anyone, whether platonically or romantically. we really should say these words shamelessly to those around us every day. it’s a marvel to think over what true love means to you and how it can vary from person to person. i think this is what makes it beautiful.
your idea of love will fit into another’s idea of love. i hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough to find that person they mesh together with.^^

this has probably been rec'd before but even though i am horribly sad i am also deliriously happy to have met someone so amazing and connected to someone more deeply than i ever really have before, even if for a short time. it's like the priests speech in fleabag when he says "when you find someone you love it feels like hope" , i think that's what it felt like meeting this person, like hope. seeing so many of the most human parts of myself that i often dislike most about myself reflected in another person, and seeing it all as beautiful, and learning that the weird or embarrassing little things that you think only you have experienced have actually been experienced by someone else too. It seemed to happen so quickly and I thought maybe I was crazy, but maybe it was just part of the natural progression of us, like how some flower species might pollinate faster than others. and now i see their name and the things i learned from the relationship everywhere. It’s like in elementary school when you learn a new word, like “Boat,” and suddenly boats seem to appear everywhere, where before the concept of a boat would’ve just been a distant floating speck or an invisible blankness

On one hand: it just flows. You can't get enough of them. Your eyes, their eyes—could be the only thing that matters in the whole world. Their voice hits you like electricity. When alone, you wonder why you aren't with them. Mundane things, at their side, become adventures. You occupy your own universe that is a secret from all others.
And on the other hand: it is a labor. Your beloved, who stirs and ignites your affection so much, is also the one who most exposes your pride and weaknesses. As you dive into them and truly know them, you discover they are broken and selfish and human. And they discover that about you. The easy slide down the snowy hill of excitement becomes a long drag back up the other side.
But then the two of you put those parts together: combine the thrill and the sparkle with the messiness and the suffering. Your together love becomes something deeper and more enduring. You say: I see you fully but I choose you still, with all my heart and soul.
It becomes something that will withstand any storms that may come, something more mature and tested:
"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." —Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
