Ultimately what both sexes need, I think, is a cultural message that it’s okay to depend on each other. We should depend on our partners—to stay, to be faithful, to give support. And from that we can be more independent. Long-term relationships shouldn’t be about losing yourself, but becoming more of who you are.

The person those entries were about hasn’t crossed my mind in months. But, at the moment, it was potent. It was real to me. Now? I couldn’t even tell you what the color of their eyes were. Isn't that just the most 20-something, melodramatic moment of intensity? Where it feels like both nothing and everything matters? I live, live, live for that.

‘The rituals of eating,’ Sarah Wigglesworth wrote in 2002, ‘played out on the plane of the dining table are similar to the rituals of domestic life.’ These drawings of a dining table before (top), during (centre), and after (bottom) a meal, drawn by Wigglesworth, explore how the relationship between diners around a table can be compared to the interactions between occupants in the home.
I always make the distinction between love stories and life stories. There’s many more people you can love than people you can have a life with.

It is in relationships that we discover both our depths and our limits, there that we anneal ourselves and transcend ourselves, there that we are hurt the most and there that we find the most healing.
