āSimilarly, love isnāt a fixed idea. Itās a spectrum that one moves within as a relationship develops. No one loves someone the same amount at every single moment. It brightens and fades at will or at random. There are days when it burns so bright it becomes an all-consuming blaze that makes live worth living. Other days, itās as cold and dark as a winter morning, and nothing could make you feel less alone. Itās a rancid clichĆ© to say that love is āworkā because that implies it can be finished or that it can be put aside for a later date. Itās a fluid feeling, which makes it exciting and maddening at the same time. To love someone forever isnāt to maintain a certain feeling. Itās to accept that, through good times and bad, you wake up every day and choose to live in that spectrum because the other person, in spite of everything, is worth it.ā - Vikram Murthi, The A.V. Club
