Bit of a depressing thought if I'm at the peak of my love for my boyfriend right now, and I'll only love him less as time passes.Colour-Scientist said:
That said, my sister did a psychology course which defined "love" as the emotion experienced by a couple in the first stage of their relationship. After a period of time (she suggested a year) the couple moves on to a stage called "attachment", which has more in common with the bond between a parent and child. Breaking up once you've moved on to the "attachment" stage is meant to be more emotionally difficult than during the "love" stage.
*is not sure where she was going with that*
Moving on.
OT: Today I saw a woman in cycling shorts so tight and so transparent that I could see she was wearing powder blue French knickers in a floral lace, with the label tucked neatly inside. She was fully kitted out for cycling and going at the pedals like a pro. She did not give a flying f**k that anyone in a car behind her would be stuck staring at her arse. She was on the road to cycle, dammit!
This post is so nice it's making a lurker like me post something.
It's a simple thing, but when I see a child playing or having fun with his/her mother or father. It always make me feel happy. Knowing that there is still this joyful sense of innocence still in the world. It gives me hope.

It makes me so happy when a kid accomplishes something that's a big deal for them. The smile they get from it is priceless.
A cat purring while laying on me makes me so damn happy. Even if i'm in a grumpy mood, it lifts my spirits.

Theres a little old couple who live in my town. Every weekend the go out into the big shopping centre in our town, find a place away from everyone else and slowly dance together. For about 30 mins they ignore all questions and voices and just dance with each other in a slow waltz. And then they leave. I dont think ive ever seen anyone have a happier face than either one of those people. Its fantastic. People say they are weird but i love it. Its actually a really nice thing to have around. No one ever tries to stop them. Its just too nice.DugMachine said:
Well, there are those days. Y'know those days where you walk outside, and the sun is shining, but it's not too hot, and there's a gentle breeze, and everyone is in just that much nicer of a mood, because the weather is just perfect... I like those days, they seem to encourage people to just be nicer to eachother, when you nod or wave or smile at people they don't flip you the finger, they smile back! When you open the door for someone they thank you rather than giving you a weird look.
it means people are actually capable of not being just a collective of assholes, and that givesme hope, that one day when we're all living in climate controlled domes because we've fucked our living environment just that much, that maybe, just maybe, we will all get along just that much better.

I live across the street from the most adorable old couple ever. They're the sweetest people ever. They just had their 50th anniversary.DugMachine said:
I run a mini-charity thing for the Salvation army every other fall, and it's nice that every single person I ask prepares a package.
I also just have really good friends. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I've never had a fair-weather friend, I'm happy to say. They'll mock me every other day, but when I'm down, they go out of their way to cheer me up. Usually by spamming comedic videos.
Seeing my little Shih Tzu and my mom's toy labradoodle[footnote]Think of it as a bit smaller body building poodle. Also, I understand the "toy" part is in there because the poodle part was a toy poodle, but a toy labradoodle is still a medium sized dog! Can be quite confusing.[/footnote] play always warms my heart. It's so cute.
every now and again I just go and take a quick look out my window, especially when the kids outside are being a bit louder, to see what tiny thing they're so excited about this time (in itself a reason why I like living here, moved here recently)
the other day I happened to glance outside right when two of the neighbor boys, no older than 10, just hugged each other.
Made my day.

My son makes me smile every single day. Just walking into his room at 6:30am (he's an early riser) to see him standing in his crib babbling excitedly is the perfect start to a day.
He's a little older now, and definitely has more hair. I'm pretty sure I'm not actually in most of that video either, as my friends were over and he was playing more with them.

At least twice a week I have kids come into my comic and toy store and proclaim that "This is the coolest place ever"
