You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She’s not perfect - you aren’t either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there

I remember thinking when you left this quote in September - all very well for Bob Marley who was probably thinking this about 10 different women at any 1 time...
I'd love to believe in this quote and I think I kind of believe in what it might be trying to say.. but actually I think it does a good job of making mediocrity sound half way decent.... and what happens when you find out that despite the laughs, good times and the trust it all still just ads up to imperfection?.. I think the crux of what's wrong with this is the "you may never be perfect together" because imperfect can be perfect - but if it aint.. it aint! And going back to your posts on words.. that's why words are so important.. You can try to mean one thing all you like - but sometimes you end up meaning the exact opposite... Which is the truth? The intended meaning or the actual meaning? And f the actual, literal meaning doesn't match the intended meaning - then how are you supposed to know?!
You always make me think deeply ms wanderlust - for this I thank you!
