‘I was such a #romantic when I was #young and the #truth is I had a few experiences that were #disappointing, and then I #lost the #idea of #perfect #romanticism. Which might be a #good thing because I believe there is no #perfect #relationship. You know, everything is #work and you #accept the #idea that… That #Prince Charming… maybe has an #issue with, you know, #anxiety, or used to have a #problem with #drugs.’ Julie #Delpy

Your #head may be saying different things to your #heart, always #follow your heart. Your head is just filled of other people’s #rights and #wrongs, #deep #inside you know the #truth and what’s right for you. #Listen to yourself over anyone else, listen to your heart. ❤
This is so #true, read We by Robert Johnson if you want to #understand the #unconscious in #love and the role love plays
#Poetry doesn’t have to rhyme, it just has to #touch #someone where your hands couldn’t.
#Happiness often sneaks in a #door you did not think was #open 😘
‘One sees clearly only with the #heart. Anything #essential is #invisible to the #eyes’ – Antoine de Saint #Exupéry #lepetitprice #thelittleprince

Robert Plutchik created a wheel of #emotions in 1980 which consisted of 8 basic emotions and 8 advanced emotions each composed of 2 basic ones.
Eight Basic Emotions
#Joy
#Sadness
#Trust
#Disgust
#Fear
#Anger
#Surprise
#Anticipation
Basic Emotion ⇄ Basic Opposite
Joy ⇄ Sadness
Trust ⇄ Disgust
Fear ⇄ Anger
Surprise ⇄ Anticipation
Combination of Basic Emotions (A + B) = Advanced Human Emotions (Opposite Advanced Emotion in Parentheses)
Anticipation + Joy = Optimism (Disapproval)
Joy + Trust = Love (Remorse)
Trust + Fear = Submission (Contempt)
Fear + Surprise = Awe (Aggression)
Surprise + Sadness = Disappointment (Optimism)
Sadness + Disgust = Remorse (Love)
Disgust + Anger = Contempt (Submission)
Anger + Anticipation = Aggression (Awe)
