>>273245is it? I mean, sure, the first time I fell in love at 19 was special to me and it's still part of me, but being in love at 33 feels far more impactful and intense. I remember feeling that being willing to do anything for someone felt really heavy and "THIS is what real love is all about", but now I don't just want to tie myself to someone else, but intertwine our lives into one, for the rest of our lives. I want to create a home for us that'll last a lifetime, then fill it with a family we'll make and grow together over generations. I want to carve out a little piece of the world and put down roots there to anchor the unknown future in. We're together because our shapes match and we've ground down our rough edges on each other to fit perfectly. That feels far more special than a relationship between children with partially-formed brains, built on basic compatibility, infatuation and orgasms.
