I think that obviously we can live on our own and without our loves, but life would be not as great – it is a positive dependency in that, I hope, one’s love enriches, not completes, one’s life and makes it so much better…I can count on my hand the number of times I’ve been in love…2 of the 5 times the feeling, the realization that I love this person, took me by surprise and, 1 of the 5 times was a first love, also a surprise, in a way, of how overwhelming it can feel, the last time it was a much ‘truer’ love for me, felt deeper, more connected…I am with this person now through thick and thin…He has provided me with a lot of support and changed my life for the better but I didn’t know the multiple ways he’d do so when I fell in love with him…I love his mind, I love the way my mind works next to his mind, I love him for his personality and his quirks, they’re very much unlike my own…I often say I love our life together, it is so much better than our life apart
