true love is not just the emotional lust you feel for someone you care for or the affection you feel for your family its also the joy you get from your hobbies or your admiration of your environment true love is for more than just people or things and i think we lose site of that often

i do believe in true love, and i believe it can be found anywhere you look. family, friends, pets, lovers, nature, art, strangers, the world. my true love exists for my parents, my cat, my partner, the mountains, the desert, the many cities i’ve lived in… i am able to find it everywhere because it is in me

i’m definitely a hopeless romantic but i think i have a good sense of realistic expectations in (romantic) love. so obviously i hope i find someone that’s like the loml but i understand how rare that is!
and i find it much more important to spend time appreciating love for yourself and others and nature and so on. all loves are important and abundant when you embrace them! maybe related — i know it’s the generational norm but dating apps feel way too unnatural to me.
i also think when we talk about “love of your life” it’s always finite; i believe it’s more normal/realistic to have someone be the love of your life at a specific point in your life, and later you maybe part ways when you realize your lives and selves have separately evolved from that time.
but i know so many people who define their lives/future over being in their specific relationship (regardless if it’s monogamous or not!) and i have found that is unhealthy and unsustainable. i think you can get so deep into a relationship that you drown in it!

The internet doesn’t accurately represent any human emotion I don’t know why love and romance get so much criticism for that. You just need to walk outside in any direction for two minutes and you’ll find evidence of true love.
I think the romantic revolution born from the frustration and suppression of romantic expression during the peak of the Industrial Revolution is a little overdue its realisation again as we peak in the digital revolution but I think it’s coming, and I mean the romantic revolution on its full scale and everything it gave to society, and not just lovers and art. It’s like talking about God (romance) and somebody brings up Jesus (hinge) like that’s not the whole body of it or even close.
Anyway it actually can’t die because it’s innate and it’s what we come from.

complimenting strangers is such a fulfilling experience thats adds some positivity to both you and a strangers day, i think a lot of people are afraid of the other person thinking that they're weird or smth but how many times have you received a passing compliment and thought it was weird prolly not very often not to mention you'll prolly never see them again and you only live once

there's a deep sincerity that comes with talking to someone new to a scene or meeting new people in a hobby or space you enjoy that i feel is lost in the cynicism and inherent negativity of most social media platforms (present company excluded) and i think getting outside and meeting new people in your community is a really beautiful thing that more people should do
