If you ever fall out of love with me, just tell me, it's okay.

because I don't have the desire to stay somewhere for any other reason.

And it sounds risky saying that in extreme, but to me, it's a greater risk to have spent 10 extra years with someone.

And then they tell me, I haven't really loved you for the last five, 10 years.

And then I'm like, wait a minute, I've lived without love for 10 years of my life.

And I don't want to be in that place because I've seen people go through that and not be happy.

And so

it does come with a humility and a openness to have very difficult conversations and not to force something that, oh, it's been going great for 12 years.

It has to.

It should do.

It must do.

And it's like, well, maybe no.

Like, yes, if it does, it's great.

And it is right now.

But why should right now be a prediction for how you feel in 15 years with everything else that's going to change?

I don't need you but I just want you and I don't I don't think I was that woman five years ago yeah I love that and and there's so much so much to be said for attracting from a place of peace because you know what peace feels like and so then anyone or anything that comes into your life and what feeling satisfied feels like

Satisfied is probably even a better word.

And that feeling of, I know what it feels like to be satisfied.

And so I now know whether someone makes me more satisfied or less.

And that's not a feeling of being complete or having it all figured out.
