What is the ideal lover? I hope he is handsome, sunny, and preferably 1.8 meters tall, giving people the feeling of being tall, mighty and dependable; I hope he has a noble character, uprightness, and a sense of responsibility; I hope he is serious, hard-working, motivated, and responsible , can make people see hope; I hope he has knowledge, ideas, insights, and vision, and can lead me to explore the world together; I hope he can be frank, loyal, and drink only a spoonful of water; I hope he is diligent , loves cleanliness, can cook, and undertake housework; I hope he loves children, becomes a benchmark for children, and can accompany the family more... However, what love needs is not addition, but subtraction.

When the day dawns, I find that the long night is unbearable, the empty heart is drowned by the loneliness of the night with anxiety, I just want to find a partner who can sleep peacefully, even if I can't sleep, I can accompany you to chat casually, and let us become the loose ends of time. instead of standing still and letting time pass through and erode our bodies like a cold wind.

Love can be simple. Gossip from neighbors, strong opposition from children, who cares? Life is not easy, caring about other people's opinions will only make it more tiring. Put on exquisite makeup, stylish clothes, and elegant high heels, and go on a date at the busiest restaurant in the city on a crowded weekend. Isn't it beautiful to look like a girl? From the hidden back door to the front door where the neighbors are watching; from the time to the pajamas, to You are where I want to be, love is like a flower that quietly blooms, and the dense fragrance makes people unable to extricate themselves.

Love doesn't need you to be perfect. Making mistakes when you were young caused harm to your family, try your best to make up for it or leave scars, a lifetime of condemnation is enough, and the rest is to learn to forgive yourself. The great grief of your daughter's death has caused trauma to your son's growth. You have worked hard to be a good mother, and you have the right to grieve. Don't blame yourself anymore. Love makes people accept their imperfections and gives others room to breathe.

Why can't love in youth be as simple as love in old age? There is no ideal lover, I just want someone who can sleep with me and chat with me.
