I-Caught Myself

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

That’s when you know for sure somebody loves you. They figure out what you need and they give it to you — without you asking.

People love what other people are passionate about.

resilience. noun. the capacity to recover quickly from hardship; toughness. this is not the game of strong vs. weak. this is the game where you get chewed up, spit out, and still survive. we survived.

You’ll lose it if you talk about it.
