With everything you do. Write a love letter, make someone something sweet, show up with a boombox outside someone's window blasting In Your Eyes, buy someone flowers, do something meaningful, go on a spontaneous trip with someone, tell someone you are thinking about them, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself how wonderful you think you are, read a poem, get lost on the dancefloor, listen to a good song, smile at something tender, listen to Sleepy Lagoon by the platters...the possibilities are endless, you should try it sometime...

💐(I know that’s not really a word, but it is a philosophy)
It’s OK if you’re single, do things that inspire yourself and be creative and make grand gestures and epic pronouncements.
If you’re in a committed partnership, keep the spark alive by doing unexpected and spontaneous things.
And if you have multiple partners, the serotonin and dopamine from being with one can spread to your relationships with the others. As Spider Robinson said, shared joy is increased.

❤️I'm not talking notes--I'm talking letter-length expressions of love for the people in your life. Not necessarily romantic, but honestly expressive. Maybe I should say, "love meditations?" Anyways, get deep into one, put words to paper, and I guarantee you'll realize that more of your relationships than you think are profoundly intimate in all kinds of ways. AND you set up a scenario in which you can be the most courageous version of yourself: taking mature ownership of your feelings by actually delivering that bad boy.

❤️True love is when my friend brings me a cherry icee over to watch our favorite show together. It’s when my brother FaceTimes me because a song we like is playing on the radio. It’s when my dog wants to snuggle underneath the blanket with me. It’s when I smoke a joint by myself at home and read a romance book.

☠️Name a better show, I dare you!!! It has everything from strong friendships to hotties in the nude to pure Marx Brothers style comedy through wild stunts. And they dressed themselves, which is pretty much the inspiration for how everyone dresses now. They wanted us to laugh, and there’s nothing nicer than laughter. Start from episode one and watch the entire thing. My favorite skit is Roller Disco Truck. I’ve laughed so hard at that show I’ve jumped up and down on my couch hugged by joy.

🥧In the hustle and bustle of living in a busy city, it's important to make time for pie. I bake every single day. I'm serious. Apple/blueberry is my specialty.

🫂It's been scientifically proven. 4 hugs for survival, 8 hugs for maintenance, 12 hugs for growth. I don't even like hugs that much, but 12 hugs sound good to me.
