having to come to terms with the fact that love is not an everlasting performance in which you attempt to retain the attention of your significant other but rather a release of control and putting faith into them and trusting them to choose to stay with you no matter what you have to offer
to love and be loved is to rest

Do you have any tips for keeping the love? (in a relationship)
Yes,
stay forgiving and gentle, don’t lose sight of who u are, insist on growth as individuals, cook together and for each other, rub each other’s hands and feet regularly, make a point to engage in the other’s interests in some way (and be genuine about it), continue to exchange small tokens of love + appreciation on the regular (u know how u brought flowers for each other or made coffee or made something cute for them in the beginning when everything was fresh and cute? keep doing that), and consider communicating your goals and visions of the future with each other every so often. ask urself: how are u loving? let ur actions answer that question and let them reflect ur love and gratitude every day. love is more than a feeling, it’s a movement.
“[W]hat is mutuality? It can be described as a sharing that does not weigh or measure, in which everyone involved recognizes each other as a source of strength, enjoyment, and the only kind of wealth that matters - the fullness of life. Brought down to the practical level, those of us who want to make the free creation and enjoyment of our lives our main project need to ask ourselves: Are our relationships our own creation, or the product of unconscious habits instilled by this society? Are they really mutually strengthening and expanding each of us? Are we creating and enhancing the wealth of life and joy in each other? Are we multiplying our ferocity against this authoritarian, money-based civilization by intertwining our lives and struggles? If not, we should question why we have any sort of relationship. Because the point is not that we owe something to each other. We don’t. The idea of debt is part of the economic framework of this society. The point is that the best way to fully enjoy and grasp our lives and to fight against this society is to make every moment, every activity and every relationship significant in the creation of a unitary life to the extent that we are able. And until we destroy the society that imposes its reality on us at every moment, this will be a constant struggle and challenge, requiring a high level of awareness and mutual effort and aid.”

Olivia Laing, The Lonely City
[“The idea that language is a game at which some players are more skilled than others has a bearing on the vexed relationship between loneliness and speech. Speech failures, communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, mishearings, episodes of muteness, stuttering and stammering, word forgetfulness, even the inability to grasp a joke: all these things invoke loneliness, forcing a reminder of the precarious, imperfect means by which we express our interiors to others. They undermine our footing in the social, casting us as outsiders, poor or non-participants.”]
