“It’s not cynicism. It’s just that you won’t build a life on grand gestures. Those are outliers. Real romance is made up of everyday moments. It’s laughing together at inside jokes only the two of you understand. It’s hugs after a shitty day and having somebody in your corner even when you screw up. It’s talking about your day over dinner and creating traditions for the two of you. It’s arguing and making up. It’s being together through thick and thin, glorious days and boring moments because your life is better with him.”
