Always slightly confused when I see people saying things like, "I found my Mr Darcy!!! πŸ₯°" about their partners.

So.... you found a man who is aloof, off-putting, arrogant and rude; who insulted your looks during your first meeting with him; who told you that he thinks you and your family are beneath him?!

How romantic... 😟

"Why, I wonder, do people who at one time or another have all been young themselves, and who ought therefore to know better, generalise so suavely and mendaciously about the golden hours of youth -- that period in life when every sorrow seems permanent, and every set-back insuperable?"

Vera Brittain, Testament of Youth (1933)
