  • This post meant a lot to me when NameRedacted (I think) shared it in 2012-ish, and affected how I think about love. Copying it here to preserve it.
  • I think what I really like about it is that it's love-positive in a similar sense to sex positivity. Love is a good thing, and experiencing desire to be close to someone else is the source of pretty much all joy in life. (and its frustration is the source of suffering, of course, so we need to be stoic about it, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try).
