A beautiful read, Bolu! As all your writing is, it's infinitely intimate, mellifluous, and heart-wrenching in all the best ways. Excited to read more from you as we continue into this year. ❤️

Really liked this! I personally have a weird relationship with love. The couples around me that were supposed to be inspirational actually weren't and so I'm not sure I believe in love (for) myself, but I like seeing other people being cute? So I'm charmed reading about your parents. :) Sorry to bombard you with this pretty irrelevant information, but your post brought it out in me!

I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. especially the "opinions subject to change" part. I haven't read something I have entirely connected with this much in a long time. At every turn I was laughing and surprised at how I would be shaking my head in agreement again and again..in my heart. (For me at this time, Valentines day looks like ignoring the thought that everyone is being "encouraged" to PDA and imaging I'm in a world were everyone is actually so happy and kind and eager to love on each other everyday for the day. Delusion? Maybe, but I like it that way.)
