“The way that the world is functioning right now, everything feels so much more transactional. Nobody wants to invest time and effort and love into someone that might hurt them eventually, but I think that's a cop out. The experience of love is more important than the possibility of loss. It is an honour and a privilege to be invited to sit in the muck with someone. That person, when they're asking for help, that inconvenience that is it causing you is not the inconvenience that you think it is. It's supposed to feel like an honour and a privilege to be able to sit with someone who, at their most vulnerable state trusts you enough with that part of themselves to invite you in.” - Soukaina
