n. fear that your connections with people are ultimately shallow, that although your relationships feel congenial at the time, an audit of your life would produce an emotional safety deposit box of low-interest holdings and uninvested windfall profits, which will indicate you were never really at risk of joy, sacrifice or loss.
It’s easy to be physically attracted to someone. It’s the mental attraction that seems to be the hardest. To be with someone solely on their looks is like being with an empty shell, and that can only last for so long. I think that there is some sort of beauty in finding someone who is able to be on the same wave-length as you are. To have some sort of connection, some sort of understanding. Because maybe, just maybe, they’ll be able to understand you.
