“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.”

my crush is a guy i'm dating and he's. so cute. he's the cutest person i've ever seen. i am obsessed with just looking at him. he took me for breakfast for dinner after a movie last week and bought me hash browns and we sat there for three hours telling each other jokes and i just wanted to kiss him the whole time.

He bought you hash browns??????? WHAT A BABE!! That’s seriously the cutest thing I’ve heard all day. “I am obsessed with just looking at him” jahehxyeijabsudismhd CUTE I bet he was longing to kiss you just as much and would have rather looked upon your face for hours than at that movie. You guys sound so stinkin’ cute and I wish you two the absolute best. I hope you two fall in love over breakfast 💘
