I love this. It makes me think that love is the way you talked about each person - carefully noticing the small mundane things that makes someone beautiful, and that falling in love is just continuing to do this. Thank you for this!
This was a wonderful read, thank you so much for writing this! I especially enjoyed how beautifully you've portrayed the unique colors of people in the piece, if that makes sense? I think in my mind, it was like a sequence from a film. As someone who's never had the pleasure to experience it, this made me want to fall in love.
Wow, thank you so much!! So beautifully put - I definitely wanted it to be cinematic (almost stage directions esque) so I’m so glad you felt that! Falling in love is truly beautiful and there are so many ways to do it x x x
‘Falling in love is like seeing yourself reflected in someone else’s mind’
‘sometimes, they leave, because love is a choice and, sometimes, people are bad at making choices.” I felt these two statements in my soul,they literally spoke to me and this read is so amazing and you’re such an amazing writer,how you articulate your thoughts into writing is so incredible i love this :)
This essay provided a lot of perspective. Love is indeed a choice and before I would have said otherwise, but I believe now that you can fall in love more than once. Rather than channeling the novelty of falling love into strangers, I see now that I have chosen to fall in love with her, again and again. And if time would allow it, I hope that I can continue to watch her grow and fall in love with who she becomes.
Oh Jon!!!!! What an unbelievably beautiful and moving comment - it really made me smile ear to ear lol. I’m so glad the piece gave you something tangible and could even play a teeny tiny role in loving your partner even more! Wishing you both nothing but growing love and infinite JOY!!! X x
Oh dear I hope that isn’t the case!!! Everyone deserves to love and be loved, peacock feathered punctuation or not…! But, yes, being good at any of those things is deeeeffffooooo adds a few points in the “why someone should (and will) fall in love with you” category
Gah thank you so so much!! I can’t believe this app is free either sometimes haha and I am bowled over every day by all the beautiful writing on here and how much we all can appreciate it x x x
Gah! Thank you so much for reading it!! And I couldn’t agree more - it’s a gift of an experience because you open yourself to feeling the entire range of human emotions which are universes unto themselves x x
The observance and seeing you give your friends you ask is what is love, love isn’t always romantic and the specifics and description of details towards them is how everyone wants to be seen and loved xx
Ugh, thank you!!! Yes - I think to love someone is to really see them. Simone Weil said: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity” and I couldn’t agree more x x

Found this in a vulnerable moment and it really did a # on me. Stunning work <3
And if you're bad at syntax and sly flirtation, punctuation-as-peacock-feather, then you don't deserve to be loved.

Hugo feels like my type and Owen feels like someone I could comfortably yap to all day.
This is a very beautiful write-up. Somehow, I happen to see love from the lenses of all the characters.
Thank you so much!!! Just goes to show you there are lovely lovely people/characters in the world :) x x
