every healthy relationship / friendship / family i know has rituals. sunday morning walks, post-dinner games, weekly movie nights, yearly trips. not that the 'activity' itself seems to matter. just that spending quality time together has become a habit.
When Lauryn Hill said “it could all be so simple”she wasn't lying. Reciprocity between two people who want something to work is so simple. It's as easy as breathing.
I think the purest form of love is just wanting someone to notice life with you. "taste this. look at that. hear this song." again and again. until you can't imagine noticing life without them
Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
i will die on the whitepill hill that it’s possible to keep a relationship as alive as it was the first day you fell in love
renewal is an act of attention and devotion https://t.co/Jmga7Nsifl
