I cant remember where its from but the quote “love is not enough to build a future on” is so true like i know we romanticize the ideas of “true love” and “soul mates” etc but u could love someone with ur whole self and they might even love u back but that still cant be the only foundation of a relationship…trust, kindness, respect, effort, honesty, openness, friendship, reciprocity are all such integral bricks in a stable relationship and pretending that love is all u need and everything else will sort itself out just sets u up for failure
