For me.

then the voice in my head said, whether you love what you love or live in a divided ceaseless revolt against it, what you love is your fate

Words from guilty of dust by Frank Bidart

I wondered how many people there were in the world who suffered, and continued to suffer, because they could not break out from their own web of shyness and reserve, and in their blindness and folly built up a great distorted wall in front of them that hid the truth

High romance ideas that should be more popular:

♡ Hand kisses, slow caresses tracing the lines of a lover’s palms. ♡ Bubble-baths taken in the dim light of candles and two glasses of champagne. ♡ Weekend dates at the theatre and opera delighting in the arts together. ♡ Massages offered frequently and lovingly, to stay familiar with the sacred map of the other’s body. ♡ Discussing your differing love languages and how to harmonize them in the most healing manner. ♡ Giving and receiving flowers. Any day, simply because it is lovely. ♡ Gifts of perfume, satin scarves, gloves, poetry books, dainty beautiful things. ♡ Slow-dancing in the dark to romantic music: vintage, classical, jazz … ♡ Small gestures of mindfulness to each other’s needs, preferences, tastes; small gestures of kindness to show that you’re always on each other’s mind. Having a cup of their favorite tea ready when they wake up, making the bed for you as soon as you wake up, or cooking your favorite meal / fitness-oriented menu when they know you’re having a tiring day, etc. ♡ Instead of settling for unsatisfying compromises, actively engaging in open conversations where the best possible outcome for both is striven for. Knowing that it’s not a battle, let alone one where the victor is the one who gains more ground. Knowing that it is a harmonious partnership, to change the mentality to one where both always win if possible.
