I'm back on a Alain de Botton appreciation arc. I might be a romantic at heart, but I like to think a pragmatic one as I grew up with a healthy-ish role model (my parents) who have more recently started to be open with me about what it took to maintain this marriage for so long. (Lots of compromise, and work)
A perspective thoroughly lacking from the depictions of love stories all around us so... More people should watch his talk, and read his books.
