"We don't choose the people for whom we fall. We can only choose to continue loving them, to make that conscious decision to put aside fears and worries, to do things that we didn't think possible, to entertain thoughts that scared the hell out of us months or years or lifetimes ago. We can choose to take the risk, because we think these people are worth it.

"And I certainly think she's worth it, many times over."

(yeah, i know. this is what i want to live up to, and what i want my partner to live up to. but it requires both partners to commit to this, and unfortunately, he has chosen differently this time. but whenever i'm next ready, i want somebody who understands this.)
