“Real love feels less like a throbbing, pulsing animal begging for its freedom and beating against the inside of my chest and more like, 'Hey, that place you like had fish tacos today and i got you some while i was out', as it sets a bag spotted with grease on the dining room table. It's not a game you don't understand the rules of, or a test you never got the materials to study for. It never leaves you wondering who could possibly be texting at 3 am. Or what you could possibly do to make it come home and stay there. It's fucking boring, dude. I don't walk around mired in uneasiness, waiting for the other shoe to drop. No parsing through spun tales about why it took her so long to come back from the store. No checking her emails or calling her job to make sure she's actually there. No sitting in my car outside her house at dawn, to make sure she's alone when she leaves. This feels safe, and steadfast, and predictable. And secure. It's boring as shit. And it's easily the best thing I've ever felt.”

“Real love - for a president, for a person, for a country — is more textured than that. Real love is about fighting for something long after its flaws are laid bare. It’s about caring so deeply, you have no choice but to place another’s well-being above your own. Love is not a feeling. It transcends feelings. Love is what allows us to be disillusioned and to somehow still believe.”

“Real love is reassuring.Real love is having the comfort of knowing that in your darkest hour someone will love you the same. I was away from real love for some time and became dependent on self-love to keep me sane. It wasn't until real love came back around that I noticed that it was missing. It was that family love that, even though I said I was okay, knew what I needed all off of intuition. I've had people love me in my success and turn their backs on me in my momentary failures. I've worked very hard in order to impress the social standards and did all of this just for my family to still love me for me. When society asks, "How are you doing?", they usually mean your accomplishments. When real love asks, "How are you doing?", they usually mean your soul. Real love is addictive. I hope you find it. Love is forever.”
