This is beautiful. I love this last sentence. And completely agree. And wish I had known this earlier in life when I used to try to make myself perfect for love.

I really loved being taken along this journey of your love. How beautiful, and how special to be held during the depths of collapse. It’s not easy, I feel like both partners have to work hard to understand. I’m so glad you found your way together 🖤

Oh, that's so well said. You must have been through this before ;) Both partners have to do work to understand; and not just her and also not just me, when we are living such different realities with one body in collapse and another that is still able. And I think our love gives us the motivation to. <3
