Swiping on a soul
I have realized why we all seek love...the romantic kind.
Not because we want someone’s body rubbing against ours or thrive in the exchange of body fluids.
While all that is great (....ok, really great)
But what's more important,more basic is someone who we can crib to at the end of a long day, someone with whom we can share our hopes ,our fears.
Not because we like to complain or need to share but as an acknowledgement- verbal or silent to our souls chatter.
Because we all want someone to whom our stories matter , not just as whimsical anecdotes but really matter...And we in turn want to listen and connect , hopefully even play a protagonist in their stories too.
Perhaps that's what romance is all about
But in this time of swiping on pictures or even looking at bios on the app or the arranged kinds..how do we swipe on a soul?
