love
All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
For a Patient Man
“Can the purpose of a relationship be to trigger our wounds? In a way, yes, because that is how healing happens; darkness must be exposed before it can be transformed. The purpose of an intimate relationship is not that it be a place where we can hide from our weaknesses, but rather where we can safely let them go...” ~Marianne Williamson

The Hardest Thing We Have to Deal With: Relationships
What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?- George Eliot Relationships are some of the hardest things, if not the most challenging thing we have to deal with in our lives. Most people struggle with how they relate with others; it can be a friendship, a partnership, a sexual partner, or a romantic relationship. It's always hard to connect with others. It starts with the fact that it's hard to relate with oneself. Most of us do not recognize that we also have a relationship with ourselves. There are many topics related to relationships, but one that is hard to reconcile is the topic of fidelity. What is fidelity? Is being loyal a requisite for having a good relationship?

Letter 10/19/21
10/19/21 Dear Unnamed, I think you are the love of my life. I have known I love you for some time now, but we got drunk a few nights ago and it hit me that you might be everything I have been wanting my entire life. And maybe you think I am crazy. I am only 20, after all. I am young and naive. I would like to think that acknowledging the fact one is naive negates their naivety, but I don’t think that’s actually true. It only makes you more self aware. So, I am young and dumb and think I have my life figured out in the love aspect anyways all because a boy who looks like my daydreams showed up. I know how ridiculous this all sounds, trust me, I know. But how I feel is how I feel, and how I feel is madly in love with someone in a way that has broken me before. This scares me. I have loved with every proton, electron, or neutron, whichever there is the most of, before. And it nearly killed me to lose that love. You are even more fatal, though, and here is why:

Love Notes
June 16th, 2051 My Dearest Ben, I am writing this letter to inform you that mother has forbidden us to see each other any longer. As Daddy is away currently because of the war and the draft, Mom ended up the one in charge. Due to this, she has moved us across the country and forbidden that I write or have any contact with you any longer. This is so not fair! I do not want to stop seeing you! As internet and all technology no longer works these days my only choice is to write you this letter and mail it out secretly, hopefully Mother never finds out. If you do decide to write me back please leave the return address blank so she will never find out. If I do not hear from you I will just assume that you agree with Mother’s wishes and we will stop seeing each other.
