Act Quote by Alexandra Cassavetes

“Love is a component of many different things - the baggage you bring, the moment, what you need in your life, seeing someone as a portal for understanding everything, and all the intensity that brings. It's not something to count on and act like it's a stable thing.” quote by Alexandra Cassavetes
