SEX : Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosaic, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill. ~Henry Louis Mencken
RELATIONSHIP: "Great romantic relationships can affect your health, stress level, goals, and achievements. In contrast, if you're struggling with fear of intimacy or low self-confidence, you can damage your romantic relationships"
LOVE: “I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”
LIFE : I thought I knew what would make me happy, but I never realized it was something I'd fought against for so long.
