Quote preview background for Monika Basile
I was mortified that I could spend a lifetime with someone and not know them at all__hat I could love someone so blindly and never question who they really were. Was it stupidity? Or is that merely what love actually is__o see the good, to love the good and wonderful and ignore the rest? I think that is what I used to believe_I don__ believe that anymore.Love is seeing every damn rotten thing about someone and loving them anyway. It__ not being too afraid to look deep inside another person and still being able to see all the good messed up in with the bad. Love is accepting the shit as well as the roses. I think I failed to ever smell the bullshit. I only smelled the roses and never realized that it is the shit that makes the roses bloom.
