I'm Sorry For The People Who Have Never Deeply Loved Someone In Their Life That Wasn't Romantic But God It Is All-consuming - Tumblr Posts

i don't like the popular take that because something is seen as platonic or sibling-like, is that it undermines or invalidates their relationship, or that it denies the level of depth a pairing has — it doesn't. why is romance treated as the only form of love that matters? i would go as far as to argue that any forms of platonic and familial dynamics can transcend boundaries of romantic love, and often times do. there's a rawness to it that can't be replicated elsewhere, a level of devotion that exists and burns. it's so gut - wrenching to have two people who have done nothing but hurt each other grow and accept each other the way family does, really putting emphasis on : i don't like you, but i love you. hurting them, but not letting anyone else hurt them. the jealousy and the envy and the hatred and the love is magnified tenfold.
