love

If you can’t talk openly with your partner about economics, politics, socialism, republicanism, democracy, Marxism, feminism, education, art, literature, commerce, theology, space, the solar system, programming, religion, atheism, theism, health awareness, climate change — and everything in between — then what’s the point of being in love?

Saying “I love you” three times a day like clockwork isn’t love — it’s just a waste of time.

There are plenty of people in this world to fall in love with.
But someone who truly listens to you, who engages with your thoughts — now that is rare.
