There's a hardening of the culture. Reality TV has lowered the standards of entertainment. You're left wondering about the legitimacy of relationships. It's probably harder to entertain the same people with a more classic form of writing, and romantic comedies are a classic genre. ↗

People are at their happiest if they are true to themselves. I think that applies to their chosen profession, friends and relationships. It goes for your health too. If you are true to yourself, it seems to me everything should work out pretty well. ↗

Shana, kalau kamu mencari cowok dengan patokan keren, itu berarti kamu belum mengerti arti dari sebuah hubungan. Yang harus kamu nilai dari seorang cowok adalah apakah dia memperlakukan kamu dengan baik. Seperti, apakah dia mau membukakan pintu untukmu, apakah dia mengantarmu pulang dan menungguimu sampai kamu masuk rumah, baru dia pergi. Cowok seperti itu yang perlu kamu pertahankan. ↗

...friends were more important than lovers - not least for the fact that friendships generally lasted longer than relationships. ↗

#relationships #friendship

We die containing a richness of lovers and tribes, tastes we have swallowed, bodies we have plunged into and swum up as if rivers of wisdom, characters we have climbed into as if trees, fears we have hidden in as if caves. I wish for all this to be marked on by body when I am dead. I believe in such cartography - to be marked by nature, not just to label ourselves on a map like the names of rich men and women on buildings. We are communal histories, communal books. We are not owned or monogamous in our taste or experience. ↗
