I’m sitting here… listening to conversations about women, body hair and art nouveau, next to a young man, who reads shakespeare’s as you like it. This is where I’m going to study next autumn. I FEEL SO AT HOME HERE.

Yet between the brothers there was great love, and had been since childhood, when Boromir was the helper and protector of Faramir. No jealousy or rivalry had arisen between them since, for their father’s favour or for the praise of men. It did not seem possible to Faramir that anyone in Gondor could rival Boromir, heir of Denethor, Captain of the White Tower; and of like mind was Boromir.

Things to consider when consorting with selkies:

• Might offer you raw fish (affectionate)

• Might offer you fish bones (...affectionate?)

• Laughs with a barking sound, so so loudly

• Will want to go swimming with you in absolutely freezing temperatures

• May start leaving their seal skin almost unattended around you as a show of trust (does not mean you can actually touch it)

• Could be napping in the tub when you come home, fully submerged in water

• Possibly has an intense, deep-seated feud with all seagulls (probably best not to ask)

the intimacy of sharing old memories with someone new. check out the places i visited before i met you. i wish you were with me. maybe we can visit them together and create new memories? look at the pictures of the sky i took before we met. now you share the same view with my past self. look at the photos of my childhood and let me look at yours. have your facial features changed? your smile stayed the same, and i love it. look at my right cheek, i have the same birthmark as my grandmother. this is the child in me that you are healing with your affection. i am glad we met. all these years i was without you but now you know about all those years and even help me to grow. your love took roots in my past pain, and reaches out to my future happiness. please don't stop smiling.
