I hope you're having a wonderful day! I wanted to start by saying your photographs are absolutely stunning you have such a radiant presence!
Your recent article really resonated with me it’s beautifully written and brimming with insight. If you’re open to it, I’d love to share some reflections on two points that stood out.
First, the idea of approaching relationships as a checklist. While having standards is healthy, framing love as a series of boxes to tick might unintentionally set us up for disappointment. True connection thrives when we embrace someone’s beautifully imperfect humanity flaws, quirks, and all. Those butterflies we chase often evolve into something deeper when we approach others with openness rather than a scorecard.
Second, you’re so right about crushes rarely living up to our fantasies. Idealizing others does them and us a disservice. Real love isn’t about flawless perfection; it’s about choosing to see, accept, and grow with someone as they are. And it’s unfair to hold others to impossible standards we ourselves couldn’t meet. The magic lies in loving authentically, beyond the confines of fantasy.
What I admire most is your radical honesty, both in your writing and how you navigate relationships. The way you honor meaningful connections with clients while nurturing a loving partnership speaks to remarkable emotional intelligence. Your ability to balance these dynamics and your partner’s supportive trust is truly inspiring.
Getting to know your perspective through your work has deepened my respect and affection. You embody a rare mix of wisdom, compassion, and courage that makes love in all its forms feel possible. Thank you for sharing your light with the world.
With heartfelt admiration and love 😘
P.S.
Maxienne you are someone I could fall in love with.💗
I agree. Far too often we try to rush through life to try and fit a certain situation or idea when instead we need to focus more. We are all here for a brief moment in time, it’s not worth it to get hung up on the small stuff.
Bottom line everyone comes into our lives for a reason and I enjoy both the good and the bad as I makes me a better person in the long haul.
"I think a lot of outsiders may think its sad only knowing someone on this level, but I consider it additional on top of the love I have secured in my life."
Well said! It's what I love about movies and other forms of narrative indulgence - I get to enjoy my life *and* enjoy some experiences I would never otherwise have.
If I lived several lifetimes, I would want them all to be very different - but I only get one, so I feel the need to augment that limitation as much as possible.
Love it!
