In dreams actions are often presented in a series of pictures. Simple moments captured by the neurons in your brain, in the form of still images rather than moving sequences.
This morning I woke up to a text from one of my best girl friends, “Do you miss having a boyfriend? Because I do…”
I thought about it for twenty seconds before realizing that I don’t miss having a boyfriend per se, I miss the hope that you feel every time you think about what life COULD be with someone…what kind of simple moments–picture stills–you two can create together.
Naturally, I thought it would be fun to compile a series of images that I’ve acquired through time that reflect that sort of hope…the way you imagine your life to be when you’re in love…
So here it goes…I trust you’ll find it altogether overly saccharine and amusing…but you’ll nevertheless know EXACTLY what I mean…
1. When I see him for the first time that day and he starts to tell me all that’s happened…
2. When we’re all alone at the beach …
3. When it’s raining and I’ve just missed him for what feels like an eternity…
4. When we’re feeling a little frisky at the bar…
5. And when we feel like just taking a walk…
