Love is not Linear

Thank you for inviting me to your show, I hope we can be honest about how the concept of finding love and staying in it can be difficult.

Choosing a lover is similar to selecting a therapist. We must ask ourselves, "Is this person going, to be honest with me, listen to criticism, admit mistakes, and not promise the impossible?"

I watched my parents love each other, and I also watched them hate each other. It was so confusing, because I mean it’s scary to want to spend a lifetime with someone, but then I saw them as untouchable heroes, but now I know it must not have been easy to love each other on the bad days.

I met a boy, I wouldn’t say at the oddest of times, but I wasn’t mainly in the market for friends. A year later I’d come to meet him in person. Give another year and I’d come to see why the universe let us cross paths. Three years later I’d fall in love with him. Even on days I didn’t like him I loved him, but all the love in the world couldn’t keep us together.


I wished I knew what I know now, Love may have the most extended arms, but it can still fall short of an embrace.
