We can't expect or predict anything.

Love is not about possession. It's about knowing yourself well enough to have true faith in another person (who knows themselves as well), faith in the knowledge that you will both continue to grow, but that you have the strength within yourself to renounce your claims over that person and their growth - faith that you will always be able to support and comprehend the person they are continuously evolving into. Possession seems sweet but is ultimately bitter. A person has to know themselves first, and always consider their own continued growth a priority that will never end. And love has to know that it doesn't have to disappear to let a person grow - once that person lets possession go, and feels a weighted center that is purely their own within themselves, if the love (and the beloved) have grown with them then the love will continue to grow.

This is what we've always known and have never had to act on. This has never felt more true.

And there is nothing I could respect more.

I mean fuck it. If we don't grow up now, then when?
