loving—so complex, so consuming—brings neither happiness nor even a place to rest, but rather a masquerade of unease and confusion. it can so easily be mistaken for connection, for being loved by another, when in truth, it is something else entirely.

maybe love itself has no butterfly validity, yet it remains a quiet neurosis of hope and trust, keeping us alight, sharing from both mind and heart. but if saving oneself from renewal or final balance is an error, then pure love rises.

beauty illuminates all kinds of love—elusive, unknowable—as if the essence of passion can sustain separation and reunion alike, stretching beyond time. it is shared even in spaces where destruction looms, because loving is everything, and also, nothing.

Along with the idea of romantic love, she was introduced to another–physical beauty. Probably the most destructive ideas in the history of human thought. Both originated in envy, thrived in insecurity, and ended in disillusion." - Toni Morrison, The Bluest Eye Art by Jane Radstrom
