A woman at work today, she has a s**tty marriage and she has kids so leaving is not so simple more financially. I couldn't help thinking, I want old fashioned qualities in the person i may end up with, but also modern in some ways too. I want old romantic love, dates that are actually dates eg the cinema,a kiss goodnight at the door, a timeframe thats longer than 1 date to make love, saying things like, making love instead of shagging, letter wring to eachother reading to eachother, trips together etc. And then I though why cant someone want those things, just because the world is changing and people are changing at breakneck speed, why do I need to go along with it. There must be people out there with old fashioned values when it comes to relationships. Now im not saying I want to get married one day, that would be stupid for me personally but a relationship where its 1950s (the romanticised version) everyday. Where i get to put on a gothic ball gown (my romanticised version) and swish the night away with someone that cant take their eyes of me.

Good luck with that. A lot, if not most people seem very surface level fluff, absorbed and twisted into the flow of the current world... like a maelstrom pulling all their ships into one. Right into the trap. |

Yes I would rather live with the dream person than live with a person that treats me and the relationship like a burden, where calling eachother the old ball and chain is the saying of the day to anyone that crosses path of a historical argument that was buried surface deep but comes out the minute someone says how is the other half. Yes most people see relationships as a fleeting thing, a thing that lasts so long and then has to end because its too much work to put effort and romance into something that started out with the words "i love you". I love you seems to be a something that people say instead of a simple word for something that goes beyond happiness. Relationships are now a Netflix and chill wearing old clothes and a hair bobble moment. Its grim out there i completely agree. |
