“At every single lapse one should burn befittingly with remorse, then reflect, ‘How might I act so that this might not happen to me again?’”

— Śāntideva, Bodhicaryāvatāra, Crosby & Skilton tr. (7:72)

You believe romanticizing life means constantly striving to create a life extraordinary enough to romanticize. But the truth is it's not a matter of creating something extraordinary. It's a matter of realizing the beauty in the life you already have. When was the last time you appreciated the way gravity hugs you to the Earth? When was the last time you heard the wind and called it music? When was the last time you studied the lines on a stranger's face and tired to read the map of their past. Tell me, how long has it been since you submerged your head in the sea? How long has it been since you befriended the trees? How long has it been since you laid in the field and listened to the humming of the bees? There is romance in morning walks. There is artistry in a sunset sky. They is magic in late night talks. There is an entire universe in a person's eyes. So, if you are looking for extraordinary, you don't have to try.

Romance the mundane; within life’s woven threads, the mundane reveals humanity’s profound accomplishment, our greatest feats reflected in our very being. Amidst the ordinary, echoes of shared memory linger—a convergence of time and space, a reflection of nature, love. It’s in cherishing the seemingly trivial that we unveil the abundant beauty of our collective human experience. Let romance find its dwelling in the ordinary, allow it to be a sanctuary for our soul’s quiet revelations. And let that be extraordinary.

“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.” ― Anaïs Nin

“You’re important to me. I think if there’s anything that will last forever, it’s that. Whether we separate, stay in touch or rarely speak again, you will always be that little someone I really do care for, that I would sacrifice everything for to protect and keep safe.”

— Beau Taplin, The Promise
