"I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around. It's not a box that holds you in. It's not a standard you have to bear. It's not a sacrifice I make. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. It's not my whole life's purpose, or yours. It's not to make you change. It's not even to make you love me. I love you. It's a plain and simple as that."
