it's just a different perspective, i think.

i could absolutely walk out tomorrow—abandon Her, and "survive." it's not a "need" in that sense.

but what kind of life would i have??

what kind of man would i be..?

She is my inspiration, my purpose, my drive, my north star. and as such, i strive to add to Her life in such a way that She feels enriched from my presence.

i don't shy away from this "need"—this vulnerability—this surrender. i embrace it willingly. it's a source of strength and resilience.

so yes, i choose this.
