Fariha Róisín, How to Cure a Ghost
Let’s bring back old romance. Send that person a love letter, write a piece of music dedicated to them or a song about them. Buy them their favourite flowers and then take them to the theatre. Take walks with them in the park while reciting their favourite poems to them. Cook for them when they don’t ask and make them tea when they seem stressed. Lounge together on a couch and let the day drift by. Sneak out of the house together late at night to go and watch the stars.
Let’s bring old romance back!

Like if you save
"Daughter of great Protogonus, divine, illustrious Rhea, to my prayer incline,
Who drives your holy car with speed along, drawn by fierce lions, terrible and strong."

If you feel sad, a walk in nature always clears your mind and heals it.
