God this was too relatable...what a fantastic read! "crafting ‘moments’ " I am completely guilty...of? I love planning international trips and contacting some connections I've made in these foreign countries and start creating a holiday included them-sometimes it really happens, sometimes it doesn't and I get disappointed. It's a plight being a romantic, said Dolly Alderton once! And I agree! haha As a chronic hopeless romantic, romanticizing anything and everything is the best - like I don't want to go to a certain restaurant with a friend because I want to go there with a boy in the future...like what! but god I love it all! Thank you for beautiful piece :)

I read and read and read and gobbled this up and wanted for it to never end. As a ‘serial romantiser(?)’ I can relate to almost all of this. Whilst I have spent a lot of time being teased for it, I also thank it for giving me the ability to appreciate the littlest moments others might let pass them by and to pull them apart and stretch them out in the same way I might savour the bigger feeling moments...? They’re all relative and all what makes us, us and our lives and paths and experiences unique aren’t they? Absolutely loved this xxxx
