Love can't cure a mental illness.
— Heartstopper, Alice Oseman
It’s weird to grow up in a family where you know you’re loved but you don’t feel loved. And then later in adulthood you understand how almost impossible it seems to cross that distance and let yourself experience closeness, how otherworldly love feels now and how love feels unbearable at times. You flinch when someone tries to wholeheartedly love you. And over and over you see so clearly how you cannot be loved unless it's from afar and love is mixed with that familiar sensation of distance and coldness.
Even before I was touched, I belonged to you; All you had to do was to look at me.
— Louise Glück, from Poems 1962-2012; "The Burning Heart"

Let my heart tell you, "I love you", a hundred thousand times, every time a different nuance, a different color, a different sound.
e.v.e.
“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
