The prose on this piece is absolutely breathtaking. The descriptions of the couples, of their glances, the wish to still be in love with your partner in 20 years time... What a piece, paris. You never fail to hit me right where I need that day.
This could as easily been an essay on how looking at the world with a romantic gaze is a lost art, and on how if we share those thoughts with so many people, unfortunately, we are likely to be mocked as "fake deep". However, this is a piece that beautifully defends it without stating it directly. A brilliant example of show don't tell.
Beautiful piece. I admire how you managed to romanticise the very same Underground that I typically associate with graffiti, overheating, being squished between swathes of people, and urine mixed with cannabis.
Love this! As someone who is a sucker for travelling on the Tube in London, it was such a relatable read! I always find it interesting every time I am on the tube, I am meeting new people or just enjoying the view (I try to take the seat near the window)
Dope piece. I can’t remember exactly when I began doing this but I do it all the time. It’s turned me into an amateur bird watcher. Eagles and Crows have territory wars where I live. It’s like having your own National Geographic channel if you just pause, listen and watch.
First of all, I've enjoyed reading this! I love the manner in which you describe things. I also have been learning to notice instead of simply seeing, and I agree that it can truly make one shed a happy tear!
this is an absolutely beautiful piece. your writing style is so different than mine yet i feel so connected to everything you wrote, you've really managed to highlight some of the most wonderful aspects of life through such gorgeous prose
A beautiful piece of observation. So many stories on the London Underground. The trouble is most people are consumed by their phones and never notice what’s going on around them. This captures the art of observation beautifully.
