Future Cat Lady?!
Never having experienced a romantic relationship, I only have vague ideas of “love” that I’ve accumulated over the course of my life. My propensity to read romance novels and watch movies has led me to become enamored in grandiose gestures. John Cusack holding a boom box over his head as he declares his love for Ione Skye in ‘Say Anything.’ Harry finally admitting his love for Sally with a hilariously self-deprecating speech in ‘When Harry Met Sally.’ Is it wrong to believe that this kind of love exists? Is it naive to hope? I want that. I want a man who buys me flowers, just because. I want to feel cherished, beautiful, special. I want him to smile when he thinks of me. I want us to be good together. To be able to talk for hours about absolutely nothing. To revel in each others company. To feel secure in our relationship and know that I’m who he wants. I don’t want to settle into a relationship because I’m tired of being alone. That’s my biggest fear.
