i want a love that doesn’t make decisions on whims and moods. my whims and moods have been changing too but i want to hold onto the constant, “the broader this” — and is that as easy as just choosing the other person? accepting them and in turn accepting yourself? saying something like: i choose you, and i want us to work through whatever we feel or experience. (does granting this unconditional steadfastness allow for better and truer communication?) to say: i choose you enough that voicing something “negative” isn’t going to change the course of our relationship. i choose you enough that some distance between us never equals distance between us. i choose you enough to always come back to you, and to give you a place to come back to.
