It could be something completely different, it could be something roughly the same, but gentler and calmer, or it could be nothing at all.

John Green

The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see "show up," not what part of another you can capture and hold. The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.

Miles Franklin
