>>36857222Yeah I don't really like the idea of one person in the relationship "saving" the other one. It's like a power imbalance. It's hard to explain because I don't mean
>only mentally ill people should be with mentally ill peoplebut rather you need to respect one another on the same "level", with all the good parts and all the bad parts. And then what happens when the "saving" is done anyways? Does the relationship end? Was it just some vehicle for the "hero" to play pretend? That's not right at all! There isn't some goal to a relationship, I just want to share life with someone.
I bought some apples this weekend. They came in a little bag, and they were all really small. They're so small and cute and just the perfect size for a snack, and every time I'm in the kitchen cutting one of these apples I'm standing there talking about how cute they are and how "this is the ideal size for an apple, isn't it?" and I did that like 5 times this week and it's like WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? THERE'S NOBODY HERE. YOU LIVE ALONE! THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
I wanna hear about the little things that make them happy or sad, and I wanna tell them about the little things that make me happy or sad, and show them things, and be shown things by them, and not feel like I'm stranded on a deserted island every day.
