About this Quote

This quote talks to the concept that true love is not always found in the most exciting and enthusiastic of relationships, but rather in the ones that bring a sense of comfort and security. It recommends that the most meaningful relationships are those in which we can be ourselves and feel safe and material. It suggests that the most fulfilling relationships are those in which we can be vulnerable and open up to our partner without worry of judgement or rejection. It likewise recommends that the most long lasting relationships are those in which we can be unwinded and material, instead of continuously feeling the need to be on our toes and electrified. Eventually, this quote speaks with the concept that real love is discovered in the relationships that bring us peace and satisfaction, rather than those that bring us enjoyment and passion.
