LOVE LETTERS

I always found comfort in putting my feelings into words, and that's especially the case when writing a letter for my beloved. In quiet moments when I just be, my heart is spilt and allowing my soul to pour; a somewhat quiet confession of love, gratitude, and longing.
Everyone has their own love language(es) and one of mine has to be gift giving, my boyfriend being the same as me. So while he indulges in giving with the use of money, I indulge in being more vulnerable with ink and paper.
Spritzing perfume, leaving kiss marks, adding doodles down to making the envelope is all the more to make the letter customized. Personal touches, if you will.
Within my attempts to be heartfelt I hope he can hold a piece of myself in his hands.

emailing your lover

the 21st century romantic equivalent of love letters -- no more dm-ing, no more texting.
Writing lengthy paragraphs about your week, about last night's moon, about all the emotions they make you feel (bonus: pdf attachments of your favorite articles and short stories)

this summer, we’re starting yoga, we’re learning a new language (being bilingual is now the standard, you need to know at least three to be truly chic), we’re going to concerts just because the tickets were cheap, we’re going to museums (especially the weird ones), hitting up the local library to ask for new recommendations, whether it’s a surprise or based on past tastes, we’re painting, collecting and collaging, sewing and embroidering our clothes, re-learning the harmonica, playing chess with strangers online and at the café, we’re taking up tennis and pretending it’s not just because of challengers. the only way to find what brings you joy is to try.

LOOKING UP THE PEOPLE ON HEADSTONES AT CEMETERIES

I had to go to Greenwood Cemetery for a class last semester, and many famous people like Leonard Bernstein and Jean-Michel Basquiat are buried there, but I stumbled upon this woman’s grave that read “FORTUNATE DESPERATE TRUSTFUL” and I was so upset by the idea of someone putting desperate on my grave that I had to look her up. her name was Eleonora Duse, apparently she was often known as just Duse (so chic), she was an amazing Italian actress, muse, and, importantly, was involved in numerous lesbian love affairs. I think it’s in many ways much more respectful to learn about the people you pass by, rather than just letting them go on unacknowledged and unknown.
