RE: Love and longing

I cannot recall the moment in which I fell in love but I knew I was in love the moment I felt fear of not having that person in my life - and that's when I embraced the longing, and love.

This is beautiful. We feel fear because we developed a sense of dependency on them and, therefore, a heightened sensitivity to the idea of losing them or not having them in our lives. It's also because their actions, words, and the relationship they share have shaped our perceptions of safety and belonging ❤️

Hello and thank you for your kind comment.

Many people say we should not lose who we are as individuals and I agree, it's something my man and I are both in agreement on; but that doesn't stop me from feeling dependent upon the relationships to help me create a lovely, meaningful life. That's not to say it defines me as a person, just that I love the feeling of being in love with my guy and knowing he feels the same about me. It's complicated, but I think also there's a simplicity to it; one needs and wants the other, values, cherishes, supports and nurtures them and together we do that for the relationship itself.

I'm not sure if I'm being clear or putting across my thoughts well, I'm not muck of a writer and have trouble conveying how I feel sometimes.

You expressed it perfectly with so little words. I feel the same way towards my husband and we've been married and known each other for 25 years ❤️

Thank you I'm pleased to hear it made sense and that you're fortunate enough to have a similar relationship; togetherness makes life so much more enjoyable.
