His hand moves over her hair and he adds:
I love you. I’m not just saying that, I really do.
Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she’s aware of this now, while it’s happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person.

Marianne told him this thing about her family. He didn’t know what to say. He started telling her that he loved her. It just happened, like drawing your hand back when you touch something hot. She was crying and everything, and he just said it without thinking. Was it true? He didn’t know enough to know that. At first he thought it must have been true, since he said it, and why would he lie? But then he remembered he does lie sometimes, without planning to or knowing why. It wasn’t the first time he’d had the urge to tell Marianne that he loved her, whether or not it was true, but it was the first time he’d given in and said it.

Maybe eventually we will just drop out of each other’s lives, or become friends after all, or something else. But whatever happens will at least be the result of this experiment, which feels at times like it’s going badly wrong, and at other times feels like the only kind of relationship worth having.

I told him I was easily seduced by people who laughed at my jokes and he said he was easily seduced by people who were smarter than he was.

Sorry for another snackless post, i’m planning some pretty big snack related stuff that are gonna be up in the next week or so. Also, sorry that this went kinda long, but i had to convey my emotions
Transformative
When people asked me how the taylorswift concert i attended in Cologne on the 19th of June was, i gave them a one word response. That word was “Transformative”. Most people thought i was overreacting, some thought i was using that word wrong, others thought i was being my regular highly emotional 12 year old girl self (I am, in fact, a 26 year old man). But it was none of those, i said it was transformative and i meant it.
When i was a kid watching gameshows, I always made fun of the people who chose a vacation over an appliance or a car. “Ha!” i said, “That vacation will be over but that toaster will last forever!”. I was a cynic, for most of my life i didn’t see things emotionally. In recent years, this has changed. i have become more connected to my emotions, and i understood the true value of experience and travel. I became somewhat of a romantic.
Not in the Boy-Girl way, but in the life way. the kind of way that makes you feel things and change based on your experiences and other people’s words, and that’s what happened on June 19th, I had paid money to create an experience with one of my best friends, and it was amazing.
During the song “Clean” (Which is amazing by the way). A hydraulic catwalk was in mid air, and one end of it was right next to us, the other end inhabited Taylor Swift. At one point Taylor turned around and walked right at us, where i began to slowly lose whatever emotional control i had. Tay then started talking about the inspiration to the song “Love Story”. At this point, her hydraulic balcony was about 20 meters away from me, and at that moment i was transformed. Maybe the fact that she was talking about Romeo and Juliet from a balcony right above me was a part of it, but at that moment i realised that a girl from Nashville, somehow emotionally connected all those years ago with cynical boy from a city 30 minutes south of Tel Aviv, and now, 7 years later, that boy from Israel and that girl from Nashville are 20 meters away sharing an emotion and an experience, and the fact that this was happening made me feel strong, like anything i could ever want to do is possible. And that’s what love and romance do, so in that sense, i am a new romantic.
Again, sorry this ran long and wasn’t very funny, see you next week!
