“The charm I detected in these trivial gestures revealed a readiness to accept almost anything as incontestable proof that she was perfect” •
Just finished ‘Essays In Love’ by Alain de Botton, and loved it. It details a relationship from the start to end, and explores ‘love’ in more of a philosophical sense. One idea I found interesting is the suggestion that people tend to idolise their romantic partners due to the plethora (great word) of literature, films, etc out there. That perhaps you may be attributing certain qualities to them that they may not necessarily hold, or that you exaggerate in them. I like that it looks at love from a more analytical sense, detailing emotions, both negative and positive that being in love produces. Definitely a good read, and good to flick through on a bus or train journey 🌻🧡📖 #bookworm #booksofinstagram #discoverunder5k
