Falling in Self ♥ • Day 12 • Grand Gestures

The other day I was talking with my dear friend about grand gestures & displays of affection. Simply put, I LOVE THEM! I love weddings, ceremonies, festivals, rituals, rites of passage, triumphant stories of the underdog who wins, proposals, love letters, exchanging of rings, uniquely wrapped packages, doors being held open, surprise gifts, getaways.....I think you get the picture!

Something about these actions feels like a person's way of saying YESABSOLUTELY! to another. Forget about --> maybe, I'm not sure, let me think about it... I want to hear --> I'm IN, HANDS DOWN! Ah I feel so very passionate about this! Since then many questions have been raised. For example, "What if there are people who feel that way but can't create the showmanship of a grand gesture???"  Hmmmm....so I have adjusted things a bit... I love the feeling in my body of a grand gesture, especially when someone chooses into me.

And...there it is.....I want to be wanted!  Hmph!  In coming to this ah-ha, I realized how much pressure some loves in the past (and maybe others in my life) have felt to create grand gestures for me.  Oooh I felt sad thinking of that.  Yipes!  • Switcharoo --> I have decided to do grand gestures for myself!!  Then folks who love me will not be 'required' to follow some silly script.  They can choose to bust a move on a grand G (or not) for themselves. :)

If I walked into my new apartment surprised to find that the love of my life had unpacked the rest of the our things from the move, I would be ecstatic!  Sooooo, today, my grand gesture gift to myself is to complete the unpacking process & celebrate me loving me in my new place!  ;)
