I'm just thinking about the word, apartment, what it might actually mean and how it came to be used for a place of living. I guess it might be because of the fact that it's a whole thing, with the -ment, but the separated aspect lies in the apart-. I've often thought, and I certainly feel, that living with Sim is the best thing ever. Before this I'd just dream about him constantly, and now that we share a space, it's still kind of like that but much more free. I really love how we can be working on our own projects while being so close. What's more, the feeling of being apart is doubly meaningful when we return and are reunited here. It's familiar, and the strange and wonderful part is that it's both mine and ours and his.
Apparently in Scandinavia, "love apartments" means that they belong to couples. Every time I read or remember that, it strikes me as the loveliest thing.
