We’ve all heard people say “you can’t help who you fall in love with”, which holds true to this very day. Throughout our lives, we may meet and fall in love with people who have many professions whether they are breadwinners or not.
Falling in love with a writer is no exception.
Naturally, writers are enveloped in their own worlds they’ve created via pen and paper, typewriter, or computer. Their brains are full of ideas, concepts, and theories just waiting to be put to use. We love deep conversations and being able to put our ‘useless knowledge’ to good use.
We may not remember everything you’ve just told us a few minutes ago, but we’ll remember the smaller things—we remember the way your eyebrow quirks up when you smile, or how happy you are when a certain song comes on.
We will remember the first time we let you read a piece of our work—and how nervous we were to share such a sensitive, creative part of ourselves with someone we care about.
We’ll remember being overjoyed when you said you “liked it” and how you found it “beautiful”, not knowing how those words will stay with us, even if you’re no longer by our side.
By falling in love with a writer, you gain not only an artistic, old soul, but someone who can sense and see the beauty in anyone and anything. We’ll seduce you with our minds; our words, carefully placed into sentences that flow into elaborate poems or tales, dedicated to your heroics or antics, or worlds that we’ve created.
We might not be able to fully understand human interaction too well; jokes might fly over our heads, or we might be baffled by the masses latest trends or find the latest memes to be too relatable, but we have the biggest hearts and genuinely mean to do good with our crafts, as is anyone with any profession, though writers.... We have something to us, something we can't fully explain.
Perhaps it's from all the worlds we've created?
…Though, we can’t promise if whatever you say or do, won’t end up as material for a short story, poem, or a writing exercise.
