Ah, this one is really for the mature audiences who understand nuance. I don’t know if many people can relate – but what they are showing here is very specific kind of love. Yes, it’s love – even if both of them are abusing each other. It’s not healthy at all. But it creates the “alive feeling” which is mentioned in this chapter. After such relationships, everything feels like a watered down, washed out version of the “real thing” you had. It’s intoxicating in the most vile ways. It’s like those Lana del Rey lyrics: ‘he hit me and it felt like a kiss’.
So yeah. Not everyones cup of tea, not worth romanticising it at all, but for some people, if they are f up AND freaked out enough – it’s heaven.
