Don’t Forget
You’re not the main character; you’re the author.
The love of your life is yourself. It’s a cliche, but it’s true. If you need relationship counseling to make things work, get to it— there’s no divorcing selfhood.
Everyone is neither good nor evil, or maybe everyone is both. In either case, no one is simply one thing and to expect perfection is to set everyone up for failure. To only see the worst in the world is to be willingly ignorant to beauty.
Love you can hold is special and rare despite being everywhere. Celebrate it while it’s alive. Kiss each other’s cheeks, hold hands across the table, say the words aloud so often they become like air.
Your only job is to be here. Everything else is up to you. Will you make it something you look forward to each day? Plan accordingly.
