"we sit in a dimly lit bar in Newtown. my hair is slightly wet. i tell S that i have lost faith in the weather app as i take off my coat thinking it’s a fine way to start a conversation. he grabs the drink menu.
i’ve lost faith in absolutely everything he says.
i laugh and he’s grinning. i didn’t know him then, but if he were to say the same words to me today i’d trust him and leave. but you can’t hurry the future."
i loved this. you have such a way with words. thank you for sharing.
thank you Nina! This story is so beautifully written and I appreciate the display of your feelings, so relatable. Exactly what I am missing with the man I have been dating for a while now: Being able to express yourself through a thoughtful selection of words. Maybe he is also in a hurry, maybe I should stop telling myself that I can grow while being on his side. hugs from copenhagen!
It was interesting to read about your thoughts on hurried and slow men. About how hurried men don't appreciate the little things in life, like sharing a cup of coffee. Thank you for sharing this story.
Loved how you write about the things i sometimes feel silly thinking too much about. Dating (specifically through apps) can be honestly so soul-sucking but, like you said, it can also be exciting, break your routine and make you take new buses and have new thoughts at 4pm on your balcony.. however intimidating or self-endulgent they may be.. thank you for sharing and i can´t wait for the next part!
Hi Nina. I just found this newsletter even though I've been following you for almost 10 years now. Feels like a hidden treasure. Thank you for this piece that really got to my feelings and had me hooked! Hugs from Sweden
I really felt this and it made me feel less alone. Going through the end of something. He just stopped communicating. I ask him if I was ever 'his person' all he says is "I love you'.
I loved this so deeply. When someone shows you who they are, trust them the first time.
