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.
wow tys im CQ » indeed i had a hard time deciding betwee CJ and CQ
have you considered just accepting easy answers xppp and not having to think too hard » i tried ok >_< seems to result in being confused and acting in weird inconsistent ways
13 gives Sartre: "The only way I can measure the strength of this affection is precisely by performing an action that confirms and defines it." You don't know why you should care about people, you just do out of principle and out of faith for the process, and over time this generates a wide array of possibilities and meanings and reasons and outcomes that makes your life rich with and impoverished without.
Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all. Love discovers truths about individuals that others cannot see

you may be right, but i'm curious what "rock bottom" looks like / how you know when you have or haven't hit it?
