I think that it's a sad state of affairs that we have turned ourselves into products.
That we are commodifying ourselves to such a degree that I, and honestly, love will laugh at you.
Because true love is filled with surprises of things that you never imagined that the other person is.
And more importantly, when you go based on this kind of illusion of sameness or the illusion of you fit my boxes, you are ill-prepared for the first time the person doesn't play according to script.
And that is bound to happen in relationships.

Yeah.
Prepare yourself for surprises.
