“I don’t know how to write love letters,” Frida Kahlo wrote in 1946. “But I wanted to tell you that my whole being opened for you. Since I fell in love with you everything is transformed and is full of beauty… love is like an aroma, like a current, like rain.”

I have to read Louis Wolfsons ‘Le Schizo et les langues’, which is really difficult considering the little amount of French I know. I have so much work for uni lately, this will be a really hard and stressy semester. I’ll try to post here now and then when I remember but I won’t make any promises!  Instagram

things and gestures i fall in love with:

- when people remember little things about me?? - when they send me a quick ‘hello, i hope you’re doing well!!’ - also when they send me cute song recs that reminds them of me - when they ask me out for breakfast!! - listens to me - listening to them talk about their faves - the little smile people give when you compliment them?? - how people respond to good morning messages - supports my choices!!! - when u actually care about me!! - the way they talk about their pets - how they treat little children - when they give me small, random but cute stuff (i.e: candies, wild flowers, etc) - when they do kind stuff to me secretly??? - good smellin people!! - when u help me out with anything!!! - kind and warm and soft ppl!!! - being very patient + understanding!! - knows their limits!!! - handwritten letters!!!!

“I firmly believe in small gestures: pay for their coffee, hold the door for strangers, over tip, smile or try to be kind even when you don’t feel like it, pay compliments, chase the kid’s runaway ball down the sidewalk and throw it back to him, try to be larger than you are— particularly when it’s difficult. People do notice, people appreciate. I appreciate it when it’s done to (for) me. Small gestures can be an effort, or actually go against our grain (“I’m not a big one for paying compliments…”), but the irony is that almost every time you make them, you feel better about yourself.”

how to really get to know someone:

- look at their handwriting

- read their favourite book and search for pieces of them within the pages

- listen to their music and let it resonate with you

- go to their favourite place

- stay up ‘till 3am and let them spill their heart out to you

- ask them unusual questions that you never even thought would intrigue you

- spend a day with them doing nothing

- look out for the things they subconsciously do when they’re happy

- watch how their smile forms
