Loving you and being loved by you feels like coming home

[romanticsuggestion]

I'm sure the universe and our ancestors have spent years sculpting our present existences and laying down the paths we've gone down for the past 22 and 23 years for my world to collide with yours.

[romanticsuggestion]

I’ll never forget the first time you told me you loved me. I almost couldn’t believe it but you made me feel seen for the first time in a really long time, like I could have something special and sweet again.

I love him. He says he doesn’t deserve it, but I love him. I’ve risked my life for him before, and I’d do it again. I’ve loved him for seven years now. His eyes hold billions of secrets, and his heart is the biggest I’ve ever seen. I love him.

Do you have a favorite submission?

I remember this submission a while ago that mentioned something along the lines of enjoying the moment and not worrying about the love lasting and I love that mindset because I think we often waste so much time in a relationship worrying about the future and if the other person is ‘the one’ but i strongly believe that we need to focus on the current moment, regardless if it turns out to be the one. so many special moments are looked over because of this constant stress. but whatever is meant to happen will whether we worry about it or not and sometimes assumptions can skew a relationship to something it’s not. that would have to be one of my absolute favourites. thank you for your ask, it was lovely to be reminded of this. hoping you have an absolutely beautiful rest of your week, dear !!! -nicole x

I’m so so so in love with you. I’m so in love with you and I don’t even know what to do anymore. It’s like some days I know the love is there. It’s in a jar in my heart. It’s there and it’s full but some days. Like today it’s over flowing. It’s gushing with love. Like a waterfall of love. A gieser more like it. Just bursting and over flowing and flooding my heart and my arteries and my veins and my organs and limbs and my head. And you’re the only thing on my mind. Anything and everything reminds me of you. The color of the green grass being your favorite. The foods that you enjoy! Coffee! You’re favorite drink. Lucky thing I work at a cafe. Dogs! That we want to foster together. Stories that remind me of you. Us. Things. Scenarios I wish we will be able to play out once we’re together. And then all I can think about is how much I love you. How amazing you are. How I want to hug you until my arms go numb. How I want to kiss you til my lips become bruised. How I want to be there on your good and bad days. Be there to hold you and whisper sweet nothings into your ears. Be able to give you a helping hand and a shoulder to cry on. Be able to be there for you. I love you. With everything in me. And I can’t wait to be able to show you that in person. I love you you’re the love of my life and I can’t want to spend my life with you.

Post-Honeymoon

You were scared when it was no longer spotless, when the shine had dulled and the new car smell had dissipated. You found yourself missing when it had no scuffs or scratches and the brakes didn’t squeak when you hit the pedal. Your dread grew with each and every mile knowing it would become less and less easy to sell. But you knew it was the time to oil and maintain. So you put your sweat and tears into your possession and you started to find meaning in the memories bound to the chipped paint. You drove it with familiarity, you knew exactly where that little coffee stain was on the passenger seat, and you knew how to jiggle the aux chord to play your music just right. You grew to find solace in what had been and what you trusted would be. You saw value in every scuff, scratch, and squeak. You knew it wasn’t perfect, it could break down from time to time, but there was always some jumper cables in your trunk and you knew they were there when you needed them. You experienced a new form of spontaneity, not fueled by a new paint job or perfect engine, but by discovery and adventure and unlimited possibilities. You learned new doesn’t need to mean spotless and spotless doesn’t need to mean worth. Reflecting on your memories, knowing you’ll have them to keep, you decided that nothing is worth more. You no longer were afraid. You found security.

I get withdrawals from you, but they just remind me of how much I want you here

[romanticsuggestion]

i just recently started to get to know you, but i want to get to know you more, i want be your best friend, your #1, the person you go to when you need comfort and support, and i want to be your favorite. i haven’t felt love so pure in ages, it’s so refreshing. from the night you held me when i broke down, hearing your heart beat so heavily against your chest— i knew i was beginning to fall in love with you. when i hug you, it feels like i’m floating. you comfort me in ways i needed for so long; despite the fact i haven’t knew you for very long, i can sit in silence with you and it’s ok, it just feels like home. i love holding your hand, it’s one of my favorite things in the world. when i hold your hand, i feel immense bliss and i never want to let go— the little squeeze you give my hand when i say something corny, it says a lot. i don’t know what the future holds, or why i feel the need to just pour my heart out, but i hope i can spend more quality time with you, and maybe, you fall in love with me, too.

how do I stay romantically involved with my partner. we’re pretty far into our relationship but we’ve been talking about how we miss old things we used to do yet never get around to them. I’m scared i’m losing feelings or just maybe I’ve lost the excitement from the beginning? I don’t know

I don’t believe you are losing feelings considering you are worried about these issues. love changes so many ways over time and sometimes we may think that we lose our love for somebody because we may not buy flowers for each other or stop going out as often but that isn’t usually the case. when we begin settling with somebody, night outs can become staying home and watching a movie instead. we don’t get the butterflies when we see one another like we did in the beginning but that doesn’t mean the love is any less! you two just have found new ways to love each other. if you have the spare time to go out once in a while together take the initiative! sit down together and work out a day to do what you guys love to do. never get caught up with school or work too much to the point that your relationship is behind all of that. your priorities can be fluid, take care of your careers but also yourselves. your love just feels different but not anything less than what it was. a relationship needs continuous upkeep, there’s never a point where you should stop trying to make it keep going, otherwise problems really start happening. I wish you the best of luck sweetheart ! -nicole
