Entry 15 · Comfort

Home is sometimes just a person you can relax around

Feeling comfortable with someone is one of the least dramatic and most important things I notice.

Early dating can feel like being slightly more polished than usual. That can be fun, but I do not want to stay in that stage forever.

I want to know what it feels like when neither person has to be entertaining all the time. When you can be tired, quiet, distracted or wearing something ridiculous and still feel wanted.

Comfort does not mean stopping effort. I think it means effort becomes less about performing and more about caring.

Being able to exhale around someone is a kind of chemistry too.
