Again in faculty, my boyfriend and I might play a sport the place we’d sit on the couch or lie in mattress and…simply take a look at one another. We weren’t “allowed” to kiss or contact, we simply needed to look into one another’s eyes for so long as potential earlier than we couldn’t stand it anymore. When one individual lastly made a transfer, the opposite individual was declared the winner.
Have you ever finished this? At first, possibly you chuckle and really feel dumb. However as time goes on, you get into this dreamlike state the place you are feeling actually related to your associate, after which it begins to really feel electrified and each tiny breath or transfer the opposite individual makes really feel so intense, and at last you may’t wait any longer to seize them. I’ve finished it since with different companions, and it’s at all times wildly attractive.

This submit makes me chuckle partly as a result of it’s so easy — it jogs my memory of when I wrote a submit about candles wherein I teased myself for being like “guys, have you ever heard of candles???” however typically the only issues are essentially the most enjoyable. So, I stand by this!
What are you discovering attractive as of late? What are your random flip ons? What about attractive books? xoxo
P.S. Extra enjoyable issues, plus a enjoyable film evening concept and how one can preserve the sparks flying. Additionally, on Massive Salad: how one can speak soiled, if you wish to.
