Chard Intimate

"Love does not exist in the way that makes me proud to pursue it. Every feeling I interpret as love is the result of some need in me: to be accepted, to be thought special, to put back together the pieces of my ego left crushed by past lovers and perhaps most of all to fulfill my evolutionary contract of prolonging the species. Genuine love then, cannot be innate. We must learn to love beyond ourselves once we have started there. Two hearts rather than two halves."
