When memory goes, all that's left is emotion. What we've learned doesn't matter. What we had for lunch, where we went for vacation... None of it matters. But how we feel who we're close to... It is important.
When people think they're going to die, they assess their life, reevaluate what's important.
Every date is a disaster. Every relationship is out of control. But if you stick with it, you wind up with someone in your life who will help you when you need to be helped, love you when you do not feel lovable, be with you no matter what.
