I once read in a Dostoevsky book the sentence "you speak like a book" which was the best statement/ compliment ive ever seen put in words. This reminded me of that, but rather than a book, you speak like a movie, which is beautiful. I felt nostalgic for a life I never experienced, and I felt like I was in a movie. Thank you for sharing your story :)

This is so kind, thank you! I have always said I write how I talk - so I’m glad to hear that I talk like a movie.

Love this: “Knowing someone very intimately before you get together means getting together becomes a choice - not something you just fall into because you want to fuck.”

That was pretty much the opposite of every relationship I had in my 20s. My husband and I were together for five years before we married and it is so lovely just to “be” with someone, someone whose company I adore and vice versa. 🫶🏻🥰

Thank you for sharing that, Elaine! I feel the same, my partner is my best friend and every mundane task is fun as long as he's there 🩷
