Sometimes, you meet someone and before you know their name, before you know where they're from. You know that sometime in the future, this person is going to mean something to you. I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. Relationship include: fights, jealousy, arguments, and tears. But real relationship fights through all of those with love. #HUGOT101
