Is sheer devotion enough?
- Perhaps the first and only criteria for a relationship is devotion
- To have someone want nothing else but for it to work is enough for people to get married
- One part of me thinks that having someone loyal to a fault gives a certain security and stability from which beautiful things can happen
- Another part recoils at seeing a relationship as the primary vehicle to self-actualise, it’s an externalising of an existential burden - I’m idealistic enough to think that our journeys (and downstream destinies) are ours to own and fashion
- Bo Burnham sings about simply choosing someone and loving them
