Tell me that I haven’t fallen for the most romantic thing ever.
Persuasion (by Jane Austen) has an exhaustingly beautiful and sort of haunting loving feel that drifts through the air, and actually, makes me long for a romance to stir me out of my sorrows.
A few lines of the letter that really catch me are these,
“I am half agony, half hope.”
“I have loved none but you.”
“For you alone, I think and plan.”
“You sink your voice, but I can distinguish the tones of the voice when they would be lost on others.”
You cannot tell me that is not romantic. To see a kiss, to share a kiss , to hear others recollect their memories of youth and love...makes me wonder why I let myself down and let go of the one who captivates my heart every time I hear their name. Even a thought of every second we spent together, any moment that arrives to my mind...makes my heart beat faster and makes me feel in a daze again...but then I feel my heart sink, because they are no longer with me. They no longer have me in their mind.
Jane Austen’s words are too powerful for my weak frame of mind, I fear.
Perhaps I will move onto the Brontë sisters for this week.
"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you"

‘I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.’
Jane Austen, “Northanger abbey”
“And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.”
- Jane Austen
“It is not what we think or feel that makes us who we are. It is what we do. Or fail to do.”
- Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility
I feel attacked
Me, every day: Me? Romantic? Please, I’m not 12.
Me watching Pride and Prejudice (2005) mouthing along: If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings had changed, I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul and I love…I love… I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
Lets agree on me loving you from a distance, And you being closer to my heart than my veins. And me being a stranger to whom you tell your troubles, And you being to my heart, the sweetest and dearest lover.
