 You guys still don’t understand what I’m saying, nor did you properly read what I wrote. I wasn’t even disagreeing with you - but I don’t have time, nor do I care to fully explain it over and over, sorry 🫂 

Who cares what I think anyway, I’m just a women. I’m wrong. Not like I know anything about how some women on this earth like to communicate or what makes SOME of us feel special. INCONCEIVABLE. 

I couldn’t possibly know what true love is, without you telling me. It’s not like everything I do is motivated by love. I mean, sure I have had hand written love letters and poems exchanged for almost 3 years with an old boyfriend I loved and who loved me, who actually read way more poetry than me. But other than him, no other man on this planet would do that, right? There are no men on nostr who have ever written poetry for someone they loved, that’s for sure, because every guy in the world is the same. Fact. Would be a waste of time, they’d never do it. 

Despite what my old friend Joe (who’s in a 14 year relationship) used to tell me, compromise isn’t key, it’s all about how you want to express love and receive it, the other person be damned. 

Like, imagine if music was poetry and musicians wrote songs about people they loved or heartbreak? Nobody has time for that, and who would even want to listen to it? I think women would hate love songs. It would be so unrelatable and make no money. Nobody would memorise the lyrics and it’s got no future. Hope they never do it. 

Love poems are only 4000 years old too, fucking Hollywood trying to brainwash us even back then. And of course you know me really well, how I express love and like love expressed back to me. How I was first introduced to love - early teens reading some asshole named Shakespeare, this lady called Jane Austen and some bloke named Ernest Hemingway. I know, they sound like a right bunch of tossers, honestly. They obviously know nothing about love. Nobody has ever resonated with and related to their writing. 

It’s always been a conspiracy by centralised media to get us to sit down and use our naturally creative human brains - can you believe it? Those bastards. Why would we want to tell someone in a creative way how much you love them? All humans communicate and express love the same way, right? There is no other love language, but the practical (though lovely) serious foundational love language. Passion, fun and romance is overrated. Butterflies feel awful anyway. 

You didn’t hear it from me, but I heard Lord Byron used a female ghost writer. He’s a man! Men don’t talk about love. INCONCEIVABLE. Bloody Hollywood, eh. You guys know best so I’ll let you carry on. 

You’re right, I will never find a man that would write me poetry, again. I love being misunderstood and loved how condescending your note was, it really highlighted how well you guys communicate. I’m not allowed to have my own opinion or a personal experience that are true to me. I’m just wrong. Honestly, never listen to a women, we are always wrong about love and communication 🫡 trust me, I know.

Don’t worry about that sound, it’s just my mic dropping. https://i.nostr.build/rChfj0bwMxRGvY6i.jpg https://i.nostr.build/RehFljPZ1jMKIzBr.jpg  nostr:note17hxnh3kf33jv463at9nez3yr0e43x824fmrseafe5pnl666d2e8sqculh3 
 Wait! Songs about love and heartbreak?!!?

Who knew… 
 Poets 🫂💯 
 Oh man, you love the way you love and someone else will love the way they love. The love that you share will be unique with your partner and that's all that matters. You find your love! 🫂💜 
 omg yes~! 
 i've written a number of poems for my Queen.  ^____^
you are 100000% right <3333 
 Jane Austen should be required reading for men. 
 Beautiful 🫂🫂🫂💜 
 my husband and I started writing love letters to each other last year. we've been together for 12 years with two kids and this was very important to me at the time. it helped me get through the insecurities that were arising with the changes we were experiencing, and to mature, as the relationship required. 
 this is so sweet...  <3 
 🫂🫂🫂💜💜💜 
 Same, I struggle to express myself, and one of my wife's main love languages is words, so I started writing notes every morning before work. 
 Badass Eshara has entered the chat and I am here for it 💯 
 Had to be done 😂🫂🫂💜💜💜 
 Calm down 
 Lol, dude, that right there was love! You say something; a little clumsily, maybe a little stupidly, and you hear about it for the rest of your life...;⁠-⁠)
Btw, I write my wife a note every morning before work, and I try to make it poetry about once a week. 
The 5 Love Languages, is a great book... 
 Lol, yes, such impulsive moments do occur from time-to-time. The frequency is different with all couples. Though, that is not how my wife and I primarily used to express love to each other. That's good that you do that for your wife and that it makes her happy. My wife never cared for poetry and neither do I. I'm not going to look into that book, btw🤷‍♂️. 
 Lol, fair enough. 
 Yup 
 🤣 wow what a cliché 
 Lol yes, and? 
 Speaking as a “man”, no-one should ever have to explain to whom they love or why. Your rant was inspiring and I pay tribute to your courage. 
 💜💜💜🫂🫂 
 I get it, Dear...

Here's one more sonnet I wrote about love for you to, hopefully, vibe with...🙏🏻😃💜🫂💖😆👍
