My friends back home thought I was running from intimacy. But the truth is, I learned more about love in those three years than in my previous eight-year marriage. In the marriage, I stopped seeing my partner. In the portable relationships, I saw everything because I knew I had to memorize it before it vanished.
The portable relationship rejects the tyranny of eternity. It asks not "How long will this last?" but rather "What is the arc of this story?"
