Hey guys!
I thought id back track through some of the blog homework as I've been a little slack lately! Thank you @missy and @rambo for always posting such interesting topics to chat about!
I'm such a hopeless romantic. I like to think I am very much a realist in other aspects of my life but when it comes to romance, I'm just an absolute sucker for it. I think by now I would have started keeping myself a little bit more guarded but I can't. It's not in my nature. I can never just dip my toes in the water, I jump straight in with all that I've got. I'm loyal and I commit myself to somebody, and only have eyes for them. I often forget that not all people are willing to open themselves up to the unknown, the possibility of love and also the possibility of heartbreak.
I'm the kind of person that would prefer just a little bit of someones attention and time, rather than extravagant gifts. But on the contrary, I love buying gifts for people! I understand a gift is not an object, but more of a symbolic speech. The utility of the item is in the act of exchange and the emotions involved. I love making people smile, especially when you treat them with something they've been talking about for a while.
I honestly think the most romantic thing i'd like to do for someone is just offer them all of my attention, as it's usually the little gestures that people do that make me feel most loved and cared about. I mean, to a degree I feel like anybody that knows you well enough can walk into a store and just grab something. It's often the small, more inexpensive plans or surprises that I love the most so I guess thats what I'd want to provide for somebody if I wanted to be super romantic - like having a picnic with cheap wine and watch the sunset and talk about the universe.
Keeping it short and sweet today but I hope you have all been well!
And thank you for continuously showing love on my sets, I can't wait to make more magic and share it with you all!
