But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.

                                Every movie makes love seem easy    They fall in love like the fire burns                             And maybe I’m the only one                                  But it feels like love is the hardest art to learn

“There are two people you’ll meet in your life. One will run a finger down the index of who you are and jump straight to the parts of you that pique their interest. The other will take his or her time reading through every one of your chapters and maybe fold corners of you that inspired them most. You will meet these two people; it is a given. It is the third that you’ll never see coming. That one person who not only finishes your sentences, but keeps the book.”

if you’re reading this, it’s too late.

you know who you are.

if you’re reading this it means that i said goodbye to you. and that you went on my tumblr to see what was going on in my head.

so.

if you didn’t see this coming, it’s because you weren’t paying attention. you weren’t listening.

if you think i’m being stupid / over reacting, i’ll tell you i thought about this all summer. it wasn’t just one thing or a few.. it was a lot. if you want a list i can give you one.

dear not so knight and shinning armor,

i was never a girl who wanted to be saved. and i still don’t want to be saved because the only person who can really save me is myself. and i personally don’t see myself as someone who needs to be saved. okay now that’s established. i just want you to know that you stopped being afraid to lose me and during that time, you actually lost me. you lost my interest. you lost my faith in us. and most importantly you let that happy warm feeling between us vanish.

i am not blaming this on you at all though. my feelings just begun to change because there were things missing.

i have always been a free soul and at first i found freedom in our relationship but lately i feel very trapped and guilty. i love you so much but that should come with no questions. and i have begun to question.

i just need time. i need space.

but in the end i am a firm believer in you come back to what you need. so you’ll know when you know when and if it is ever truly over.

If you love somebody, actually love them, that active process of loving them has to involve respecting their autonomy and treating them accordingly.

Coveting someone like an object is a totally different process to loving, and the actions that make up that process will be different.

Loving requires seeing someone as separate from yourself; a complete and whole person with goals and motivations and needs equally valid and significant to your own. Love requires making active choices to be supportive of another person’s journey. It requires a desire to understand the unique individual you love, not so you can get things you want from them, but because you want to celebrate who they are as a person.

Caring about someone only until their boundaries inconvenience you isn’t love. Seeing people purely as more or less interchangeable props to be used to get certain things you need or want – sex, companionship, emotional or household work, a legacy, etc. – isn’t love. Prioritizing your own comfort over someone else’s autonomy isn’t love.

If you actually love someone, you do not want to control them. You aren’t interested in forcing, manipulating, or bullying them into submission. You are eager to understand them and support them in their own choices and goals, and even if you hope those goals will align with your own, if they don’t you are not interested in forcing that person to do as you say instead.

If someone actually loves you, they do not want to control you. They aren’t interested in forcing, manipulating, or bullying you into submission. They are eager to understand you and support you in your own choices and goals, and even if they hope your goals will align with their own, if they don’t align, that person is not interested in forcing you to do as they say instead.

Never believe that somebody wanting to have another person regardless of what the other person wants is the same kind of passion as love. Treating a person like a much-desired object is still treating a person like a thing to own and control, and that behaviour is incompatible with the actions involved in actually loving someone.
