Having sex isn't everything. Have y'all tried just laying down, playing with someone's hands while they talk about life? Those are the moments to live for: deep talk and understanding someone's background, opening up to someone and actually falling for them more and more.

have a relationship thats mature enough to sit down and be like " look this is our problem and this is how we're gonna fix it.." SIMPLE

you dont have to be useful to be loved btw

Less "if they really loved you, they wouldn't ever hurt you." More "hurt feelings and conflicts are an unavoidable part of life, but the people worthy of being in yours will apologize and work on their behavior once they realize they are hurting you. You can't expect perfection from anyone, but you can and should expect effort."

i think love is stored in late night conversations and "did you drink water today" and "i waited to watch this with you" and splitting a coffee or dessert and "i missed you" and folded laundry and sleepy heads on shoulders and "you're right, i'll do better. im sorry" and inside jokes and... there are so many ways people say i love you silently every single day over and over again if you just listen

maybe intimacy isn't taking off your clothes. maybe it's taking off your "i'm fine". maybe it's being naked in ways that have nothing to do with skin.
