I Don’t Want Temporary Love — I Want a Lifetime

What is the point of dating if it’s not leading somewhere meaningful?

Not entertainment.
Not distraction.
Not convenience.

But devotion.

We admire swans because they mate for life. We romanticize that loyalty — two beings choosing each other over and over again, not just in perfect seasons, but through storms, migrations, and winters.

And maybe that’s what your heart has always wanted.

Not someone for right now.
Not someone for “let’s see how it goes.”
But someone who says:

“I choose you. Fully. Intentionally. For life.”

Yes, that kind of love is terrifying. Because permanence requires vulnerability. It requires emotional maturity. It requires two people growing instead of competing. Healing instead of hurting. Building instead of escaping.

But imagine this:

Growing old with someone who saw you at your lowest and still stayed.
Building dreams side by side.
Becoming better because loving them required you to evolve.

The greatest love isn’t obsession.
It isn’t dependency.
It isn’t losing yourself.

It’s finding someone who expands you.

Someone who opens your eyes.
Raises your standards.
Challenges your fears.
Pushes you toward your purpose.

That’s not fantasy.
That’s partnership.

If you’re dating, date with intention.
Date for alignment.
Date for legacy.

Because love that lasts isn’t luck — it’s choice, every single day.
