Love didn't seem like something that could be organized or contained; it should be messy and emotional, like exploding and imploding with someone at the exact same time.

About This Quote

This quote is a bit confusing, but the sentiment is clear enough. In the case of love, it’s not about making your love tidy and organized. In fact, it’s not even about making your love neat and tidy. Love isn’t some complex mathematical equation, where one side of the equation equals one and another side of the equation equals some other number.

Love can't be codified into numbers and it shouldn't be about the numbers at all. It's about feeling and emotion and how you feel when you're with someone you love. It's messy and it's complicated.

It's about happy chaos.
