The antidote to the pervasive shrug that defines modern-love courtship, an endless purgatory where it’s a miracle if you even get to meet someone in person and not just DM each other until one of you deactivates for mental-health reasons, is actually quite simple: Subjugate yourself. Tell someone they’re hot. Flirt with abandon. Make an actual… wait for it…plan.⁠ ⁠ It’s something that poets have always done, and it's a skill that Alex Dimitrov (wildeamericanboy), Matt Starr (mattstarrmattstarr), and aria.aber, three accomplished poets who specialize in spinning the erotic into heart-racing text, have mastered to a tee. 💌⁠ ⁠ At the link in bio, sophiajune asked each of them for their tips on how to revive the art of the love letter, whether it’s crafted in the DMs, over text, or even on paper.⁠ ⁠ 🎨 sabrinakaune.indd⁠ ⁠ #LoveWeek
