Think about the impact of a hand written letter, a song made for somebody, or an unexpected surprise.

In all of these, the maker is focused on a single person until itโ€™s been delivered.

Love and attention are the same.

May love (always) be the ampersand between the two of us.

-This is all I have to say.

โˆ† Notes from Ila, Swap Crookshanks

What attachment theory essentially says is that being loved matters โ€” and, more than that, it matters who loves us and whom we love in return. Itโ€™s not just a matter of the warm body holding the bottle; itโ€™s not object love at all; we love specific people and we need them to love us back. And in the case of the childโ€™s tie to the mother, it matters that the mother loves that baby and that the baby knows it. When you are a very small child, love needs to be as tangible as warm arms around you and as audible as the lull of a gentle voice at night.

The more familiar two people become, the more the language they speak together departs from that of the ordinary, dictionary-defined discourse. Familiarity creates a new language, an in-house language of intimacy that carries reference to the story the two lovers are weaving together and that cannot be readily understood by others.
