i spent the last two days with lindsey and it was just rather pleasant, i enjoyed her company. i don't think i even have a crush on her anymore, i just like spending time with her
i'm thinking about this with respect to my relationships more broadly as well. romantic flourishes are appreciated but the raw fact of our togetherness is far more valuable to me.
i originally wrote parent with specific enumerations of people but i realized they were all too different and too much the same, you'll have to settle for the vague gesture
