Are you going UP or DOWN when looking for love?

There are two ways to define true love. One is “despite everything you are or are not,” and the other is “because of everything you are or are not.” What this means is that while one way you can drop your act, stop trying, and slump into the sofa knowing you’ll be forever loved, the other inspires you to be more and to try harder. Sometimes, the decision of whether you are or are not someone’s potential True Emotion Mirror is a question: “Do you want to work MORE to be that, or do you want love for free?” And you both need to agree on whether true love takes you upward or downward.

Once you’ve given each other the permission to DEMAND MORE, the sky is the limit. Even the permission to complain about something may be the sifting point. “I CANNOT STAND YOUR HAIR,” for instance. The permission to remove the filters to say I NEED YOU TO DO THIS, I need you to fix that. I cannot live with this thing. Make it go away, please. Even before those things are gone, to hear that person say: “I’m on it,” knowing they mean it will pretty much erase the issues from the equation. To give yourself, or to be given the permission to be vain or love vanity or let go of another virtue for the release of another… For instance, to give up the idea of modesty or being loved despite one’s looks. GAH! If you love people visually, you do, and that’s all there is to it. To allow yourself love people by their looks in addition to other things… It’s just nice. So nice.
