i love that the phrase is “in love” like love is a place. like somewhere you could live.

[letters-to-venus]

i would like to spend the rest of my time loving things. so i will.

[letters-to-venus]

I am grateful for my hands that allow me to cook for my lover and flip through pages in books and call my family and text my friends and run my fingers along fur and pluck flowers and cup my palms together in lieu of a makeshift telescope for spotting faraway planets all the way up in the night sky

[letters-to-venus]

I hope you feel my love for you as it radiates from me

[letters-to-venus]

different kinds of affection:

- passionate as the sun; pupils dilated, lips seeking kisses, emotions without boundaries.

- soft as a breeze; butterflies every time you see them, quiet admiration, gentle kisses against a warm forehead.

- tranquil as the moon; listening intently, fingers intertwining, sleepy declarations of love.

- bright as a star; tight embraces, flustered cheeks, conversations lasting for hours on end.

take a step back. breathe. you can handle this. take a minute to compose yourself; rest and regroup. you have grit, you can make it through this.

[letters-to-venus]

dear venus,

let me never forget that love can be found anywhere; in the glances between lovers, friends, family. everyone is loved by someone and in turn, everyone loves. love can be found anywhere, and no one is exempt from it.

Vintage and antique love tokens 

[letters-to-venus]

human connection is real and the shared human experience is beautiful. you realize this when you go to a concert and everyone pulls out their flashlights and lighters and fills the stadium with thousands of tiny handheld stars like a homemade galaxy.

thinking about the casual intimacy of showing someone you love an unfinished work of art, the underlying message saying, i trust you with my unpolished heart

[letters-to-venus]

dear venus,

grant my beloved friends protection and gentleness. remind my chosen family of their value and worth, for it is certain and unwavering, even in these dark ages. let them find love from myself, from others, and from nature everywhere because love is a right, even if it can be hard to see.

dear venus,

my wife is bright and radiant, the sun to my moon. all i ask is for your help; so i may reflect the light she provides back unto her, for she burns fiercely and spectacularly, but denies her own brilliance. my only desire in life is to provide my sun with the care and recognition she deserves for lighting up my world.

[letters-to-venus]

dear venus,

i can hardly bear to wait to see her once more. in the meanwhile, i humbly request to send a kiss upon her cheek and my warmth to accompany her at night.
