True Love Isn’t Always About the Big Romantic Gestures by Philippa Rice
Illustrator Philippa Rice composes adorable and quirky drawings, which depict the small doses of love shared between her and her boyfriend in her romantic graphic novel Soppy: A Love Story. The webcomics are representations of the reality she experienced and the small gestures of love in everyday routines like grocery shopping, choosing where to take out food from and even the random hugs throughout the day. You can find these illustrations and more in her book.
Love wakes up with you… and then follows you both to the kitchen!
Similarly, your significant other will follow you for the simple pleasure of being there with you.
And even if you’re not aware of it, love doesn’t let go during sleep!
It’s also what makes you brush teeth as a pair.
Everything is better when done with a loved one, even grocery shopping. They don’t mind if you start snacking on the way back, either.
Love also means a lot hugs, every day and at random times.
And just like any relationship, love has troubles with choosing food.
And being together means that someone will always hold your hand, no matter what.
Even the smallest things that signify your togetherness can be exciting!
Living and loving together means that not being alone even in your solitary hobbies.
Plus, there’s always someone to help/blame when you’re assembling IKEA.
And sometimes, love is putting the other’s needs before your own.
Being together makes even cooking into a fun task.
And one can always count on the support of a loved one even in the smallest of matters.
Plus, a loved one is the best person for deep conversations in the bed and over a sandwich.
Being together also means having someone down with cuddling at the drop of the hat.
Your loved will also follow (or take) you to all the cool tiny cafes.
Autumn leaves are much prettier when you have someone to enjoy them with.
Loving is also knowing when to say “I’m sorry.”
Besides, what can beat falling asleep in your loved one’s lap?
Or going to explore new places, even if those places are parks?
And then, love teaches you the value of compromise.
At the end of the day, being in love is looking at the same direction…
…and bravely meeting tomorrow, together.
