valentines "I love you" prompts 💐

notes tucked beneath your morning coffee

a confession under the glow of a streetlight

tangled hands in the same pocket

a long bus ride sharing a pair of earphones

a box of cookies delivered in the early morning

falling asleep to the glow of the television and waking to a blanket pulled over your shoulders

a text from someone you haven't spoken to in too long

shoulders hunched over a chopping board, carefully dissecting fruit to deliver it to you in a bowl

a shared meal

sitting together in the glow of the fireplace and losing track of time

poems

eyes locking across a room

a wordless text with a link to a song

buying yourself a new book or special drink

dressing up because you feel like it

clearing the table without asking

falling into a familiar pattern

lingering a second longer in the comfort of inside jokes

being overly lavish with honest compliments

the dip of a chin as you pass each other in the hallway

communication without truly speaking

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

And don't film people!!

Gyms can be intimidating for a variety of reasons. Don't add to the stress because you think it's somehow funny to film somebody for their looks or form. There are people who avoid going to the gym because they don't want to end up on someone's tiktok

your dark doesn’t scare me. it only makes me want to hold your hand and be your light until you can find your own again. that’s what people do when they’re in love.

I watch and read some stuff about true crime. Usually it's for really old cold cases but others are more recent. But I've got a few pet peeves with the true crime "community."

These cases are about real people. The families and friends are real people. These aren't characters. There needs to be more respect for them. And no one should be contacting family/friends of the victim to get info or something

Real life isn't like CSI or Criminal Minds. Results take time. There are certain procedures that have to be done

I know the justice system isn't perfect. Law enforcement isn't perfect. But I have to roll my eyes at people who act like they know and insist this is how it should be, this is what should be done. I'm sorry but I'd trust someone with years of experience than someone who reads a lot on reddit or watches a lot of youtube

To add on to that: sometimes the evidence just isn't there or it's not enough. They can't just arrest somebody because you're so sure they did it

Honorable mention: forgetting that times were different years ago (like years ago) and/or forgetting that what we have now to solve crime wasn't available back than or not as enhanced as it is now

Do you ever feel so incredibly beautiful just because you can feel their gaze on you?

Just because they’re watching you.

It's beautiful when you get what you crave for

It's beautiful when someone's warmth transcends distances

It's beautiful when no matter the fate, you know it's pure

It's absolutely beautiful to feel a connection soul deep

my goal is to write comments full of so much love the authors respond even though they never respond to any other comments

After almost 2 and a half years, it’s finally done!

I’m sorry to those who patiently waited for so long. I dealt with depression and burn out from working 6 days a week, losing confidence in my work multiple times, and looots of rewriting and distractions, but it’s finally done

I’m still kind of in shock but in a good way lol

I’ll be posting sometime this week. Going to fix up the first three with some minor things first and then I’ll update! Hope everyone enjoys :)
