i think learning more love languages is an important part of developing empathy and unfortunately i didn’t realize that until recently >> tbh i feel like the work of learning *how* to love others is one of my favorite parts of loving; it's so eye-opening. i think a lot about how everyone has such incredibly unique lives/experiences -- even if i spent every moment possible with x loved one, there would still be so many years before we had met / so many moments where it's impossible to share with them / so many ways of thinking I can't even begin to comprehend. so in light of, like, the impossibility that any of us understand each other even remotely, love and friendship feel like actual miracles.
