Few people feel appreciated in their relationships.
Partners stop saying “I love doing life with you” or “I appreciate x about you.” If we don’t get that acknowledgment at home, the relationship will eventually suffer.
Appreciation is the love language of long-term partnership.
In 1958, Mark Rothko was offered $35,000 to decorate a fashionable New York restaurant. In response, he created some of the darkest, most dismal paintings in existence.
Why? And why, for all their bleakness, do the paintings still resonate with so many of us today? A thread.
"Todas las cartas de amor son
ridículas.
No serían cartas de amor si no fuesen
ridículas.
Las cartas de amor, si hay amor,
tienen que ser ridículas.
Pero, al fin y al cabo,
sólo las criaturas que no escribieron cartas de amor
sí que son ridículas."
