    Partnership and trust. The feeling that someone makes you want to become a better person, and you can trust them to help you with that journey.

    I’ve never really loved anyone properly. I only I ever get obsessed about certain people. Some days I’m still obsessed with a crush from over a decade ago. And everything I’ve ever learned about relationships is that obsessions are usually unhealthy and unwelcome. I also seem to get tied up in my own self worth which should have nothing to do with how I feel about someone. So what I’m saying is, I’m really bad at it! =D

    I guess I love my friends and family in a platonic way. Did this answer your question?

      Wow I can relate so hard.

      My current partner is the first time I could say I truly loved AND was loved in return. Yet we’re ultimately impossible :/

      I’m full of passions, and my greatest desire is to find people who would like to share them, and show me their passions. Sometimes this blinds me to reality.

      I have had many passing infatuations, and indeed still get them to this day. IMO that’s normal, but we do need to remember to live, and not remain anchored by dreams and ideals.

      Ah I know this feeling too. It’s as if it’s not meant to make sense.

      If we’re talking about romantic love, I still think about this person from ages ago. I don’t see at all why we would be compatible. Age, belief, values… So different. And we even ended splitting up as friends because I felt she kept crossing my boundaries and she didn’t seem to care. But ya I still think of her…

      Now I don’t look for anything any more, or hope for it, or anything really. But I do find love in myself for the world and I guess what a lot of people would call god.
