amazing! startling. this random person (

interim32?) quoted in

metaquotes has so nearly said how i've been feeling about love lately.

Love, to me, doesn't guarantee or even involve trying to make another person happy. It's about sharing one life and feeling comfortable and inspired in their presence. It's the other person's job to be happy--with or without me. But a relationship is so much more enjoyable when I feel the urge to express myself, to tell the other person how I feel in every way I can imagine. And then to imagine more ways, and do it all over again.

p.s. possibly related--every time i go to the store, i keep buying those really cheap valentine's day cookies in the bakery, you know, the plastic clamshell box full of pink-and-red-sprinkled sugar cookies shaped like hearts? it's a real weakness. i love those things. mm mmm.
