today i saw a tweet that said "if unicorns exist in our imagination, what if we exist in theirs?"
and then i started thinking really hard. what if that perfect person isn't as far as we make them seem? we make them seem like they are years away, miles away, impossible to locate. but what if they were always right there? or right around the corner? and we ourselves just failed to have a bigger imagination.
it's kind of like... okay, i went to a j.cole show last month. i expected it to be amazing but it actually blew my mind. two piano players on stage and an interactive, straight up live dj. no bullshit. it was better than i expected. i didn't think much of it before that, but now i have higher expectations for concerts than i have ever had prior to his.
so i kind of look at people the same way. expect good, and in turn you may even receive great. sure, there are a lot of shitty people out there, but it is not far-fetched to go looking for someone with a good heart, who wants the same kind of love you do.
i never thought i was being realistic when i thought of myself falling in love with the "right" person. i kind of figured i was setting myself up for disappointment for the rest of my life... i was dead or something. clearly. but i found someone who turned that all around and now i know myself that i am completely different in love. in good love. not that crazy stuff that kills you slowly.
for the first time ever, i woke up early and cooked breakfast for two... left my boyfriend in bed and told him to relax and i'll get him when it's ready. it wasn't much, eggs bacon and toast, but it was the first time i ever did something like that for someone.
i used to imagine that being in love was having someone treat me like a princess. i mean, i do have that. but it feels just as good, maybe even better, to treat him the way he deserves. & a love like that used to be completely beyond my imagination.
