I’ve always hated love songs, and love stories too, and don’t even get me started on rom-coms, or old-school Disney films. They sell this out-dated, utopian, impossible idea of romance.
No, I don’t want someone to follow me to the airport, I want someone to cook me a fry up when I wake up hungover. No, I don’t want someone to rescue me from an ivory tower, I want someone to be able to stand a whole dinner with my mother.
Modern love is something else. It’s swiping right, it’s farting in bed, it’s disinfecting your wounds, it’s booking you a vaccine appointment.
Modern love is my home, modern love is you.
