I think people truly underestimate how hard it is for two human beings, to do LIFE together. The amount of effort, compromise, understanding, trust, loyalty, honesty, resilience, love, care etc, etc, that it takes. You have to CHOOSE that person every single day.
I don't care for nonchalance. Point me to the lovers, the yearners, the poets, the men who send long paragraphs and the women who will send a long paragraph back, the triple texters, the gifters. Point me to the people who love love and are not afraid to show it.
Read more books. Read to escape reality. Read to understand reality. Read to challenge what you believe. Read to think better. Read to write better. Read to argue better. Read to know yourself. Read to build something. A single book can completely rewire your brain.
