things i hope to be like in 40ish years
i used to read modern love every sunday online…i realized i’m way behind and used my lunch break to catch up. probably a poor decision since i kept thinking i wanted to cry. this is the best one i’ve read in a long time though, and i think the most honest.
this made sense to me, especially:
“Being married to someone you respect for being somehow better than you keeps affection alive. That this impressive person chooses you year after year makes you more pleased with yourself, fueling the kind of mutual self-esteem that can get you through decades.”
is it possible i’m starting to believe getting married wouldn’t be the worst thing that could happen to me? god, i need a drink. thanks ppaul.
Oh to find that one person.
