love

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.

i heard an older woman say let love find you in your living not in your longing and i have been chewing on that ever since

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.

imagine dating someone and it works out and you two are together for the rest of your lives
