extreme romance

I like videos in the Christmas background, red decorations, shiny Christmas tree, cheerful music, and crowds, just cheer me up. Especially in the cold December, it is easy to feel like watching such videos . So I rewatched this film, and I remembered that on the fifth floor of the school, on the night of the English summer camp, I was sitting in a huge lecture hall surrounded by unfamiliar classmates. Nowhere to vent.
It started with a pair of black cashmere gloves, a cup of coffee, separated, and met by chance, went ice skating, got to know each other in the plush snow, favorite movie, favorite New York times, favorite sexal position. The freckles on her wrists, probably only he can Recognized just happened to be Cassiopeia. (Many years later, this episode of Cassiopeia's freckles can still move me) Because they believe in fate, the information they left is only the first name. Write your contact information on the five-dollar bill, spend it, and it will be circulated in the hands of the other party. What is the probability? Write your contact information on the title page of the book, sell it to a used book stand, and distribute it to the other party. What is the probability? Although we have been unconsciously utilitarian enough to not believe in things with low probability. But this seems to be irrational romance, under the arrangement of the director, in the gaze of Kate Beckinsale, it is very moving.
The film is to encourage belief in soul mate, destiny. Regardless of whether it is in line with your own values, how can you not get excited about these extremely romantic details. I love this movie, not because of their miraculous encounter, but because of their passion for the relationship.
Back to the reality, people can not be this romantic easily. Most of us take love as a serious thing that means you share your happyness, sadness and pressure together, and fight for life together. You don't usually have the time for romance because since you have been together there might be many things take priority of romance.
Romance is dazzling, like a sensational movie, people who watch it are easy to be moved and happy to tell, while the male and female lead actors may be relatively calm. Anyone can start a romance. But after one year, two years, five years, ten years, how many people still take time out of the many major livelihood events and life trivia that occupy the priority, think about it, plan and plan, add some passion and romance to themselves?
Yes, we don't need to spend years like the two in the show to meet again. We've been so lucky to have each other. But it doesn't mean that life from now on is efficient social climbing or money making. Is it because you already got it?

When I close my eyes and seriously think about romantic life, the problem comes again:
the older I get, the less I like to imagine. So the imagination is gradually lost. Without imagination, how to be romantic?
