Romanticized Ideas are just what they're called. Romanticized. But under no circumstances
have I in my experience, come across one which has not truly lived up to it's
name; unless it was made up. They've got nothing to do with romance, or love
for that matter. They need not be with a significant other, they might not even
need to be with anyone for that matter. It's not something that someone can
tell you to do and not something that you can make yourself do either. They're
just the small things that could fill you up, make you comfortable and give you
butterflies in your stomach at the same time. They can make you nervous and
happy, insightful and morose, nostalgic and anticipatory or absolutely anything
in the world. But the one thing that would probably come out common in each one
of them, would be feeling so very comfortable in your own skin, that you
wouldn't want to think about anything. You may not feel the hours pass, or you
may feel every second as long as an hour as you take each of them in with a deep
breath. There are so many of them, and to each their own. And they work best
when you don't have to do anything, and they just happen. I was thinking about
one such idea today, and it only took a second before several others came
flooding to me. So here I am, listing my top 30 down, in no particular order:
1.
A quiet walk on a lonely road under the streetlights at night.
2.
Curling up in your favorite boxers under the blanket
3.
Watching a movie while your friend watches the same movie in another city and
you're connected on the phone, not saying anything at all..
4.
Waking up to the chirping of birds
5.
Hearing the sound of a train at a distance
6.
Someone you longed to talk to, unexpectedly calls or turns up at your doorstep
7.
The feeling of deja vu when you visit a new place with your old friends
8.
Waking up with a smile on your face
9.
Writing a letter
10.
Finishing a book and wishing it hadn't ended
11.
Sitting on a rock, watching the sunrays part the clouds, looking at the sun
come up
12.
Standing with your arms outstretched in the face of the wind
13.
Watching someone type without looking on a typewriter
14.
Waking up at 4am to find yourself sleeping in the most retarded place and
position
15.
Remembering an incident from long ago and laughing to yourself
16.
Whistling the tune of the song that's been going on in your head
17. Posing in front of the mirror and making
stupid faces when somebody catches you
18.
Cuddling
19.
Knowing and giving someone what they need or want before they even know it (and
vice versa)
20.
Lying on the bed, listening to light music in the background, just staring at
the fan, thinking nothing

Hot tomato soup with lots of croutons
22.
Bonfires with whiskey and marshmallows on a stick

Sharing a beer with a family member
24.
Meeting old friends over brunch
25.
Falling asleep with the book you were reading still in your hand with the lamp
still on
26.
Writing with your finger on a foggy mirror after a hot shower
27.
Walking around with a mug full of hot coffee
28.
Smoke rings
29.
Exchanging a look with someone when both of you are thinking the exact same
thing
30.
And writing something after a long time... just like I just did!
Leave
