What an exquisite poem. For me, this sums up why we are all here and why fic is written.
Finally swapping bitterness and hate for care and love, self-destruction and self-distrust for self-assurance and self-respect, inaccessibility for closeness.
Perfect. It's like a manifesto of love. Only more. It could also be about the changes taking place inside a person regarding himself, as well as between two people. I think you understand very deeply about how self-respect is the foundation of a relationship.
Thank you, Julchen! Words to think on, and to live by.
