"We stopped trying to own each other's indexes. I stopped trying to delete his .. link, and he stopped trying to list all of my hidden files. We realized that love isn't about being in the same directory forever. It's about knowing that no matter how deep you go— ./career/./setbacks/./hard_days/ —there is always a .. that leads back to someone who is waiting in the parent directory, index open, ready to say: 'Welcome home.' "
