Generally speaking, popular culture is the antithesis of Elegant Culture. Elegant culture generally includes such things as classical music, serious fiction, poetry, dance, elegant art and other works that are appreciated by a relatively small and educated audience and are more difficult for the general public to understand. Popular culture, on the other hand, is universally enjoyed and enthusiastically followed, and its main function is to entertain.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
My friend has been with her partner for years. As a couple, they like to say they've been through hell and back just to be together. She works seven days a week and he stays home to watch the kids, so finding any time to just chill and enjoy being together is, according to her, like mission impossible. Many times, she's admitted that stress carried over from work has a tendency to make her irritable, which of course never sits well with her partner. So it didn't come off as too much of a surprise when she asked me one day, " How do I bring the love back?"

"Loving someone is an active choice," licensed professional counselor, Shannon Battle, tells Bustle. "So when your heart is completely in the relationship, you will always find ways to keep it there."

Falling out of love is an action based on emotional discontentment, says Battle. When you're at that state, it's pretty common to focus on flaws and trivial situations. Many times, those minor flaws can become so magnified that it can be hard for you to see the successes that make your relationship strong. "Staying actively committed requires work and strategy," she says. "Always remember, if you fell in love then it's just as likely that you can fall out of love."

Getting your heart back into the relationship is a conscious choice you decide to make. So here are the best ways to do it, according to experts:

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Back in her high school days, Mum was the most beautiful girl in school, to the point where there was a gentleman's agreement among the boys that Mum was for everyone to equally enjoy from afar - off-limits to confessions and everything.
Me: "Then how did Dad get you?"

Mum: "He punched me in the face."
Mum does kendo and karate. That I already knew. But apparently, their high school didn't have a kendo club. It did, however, have a fencing club. Mum decided to challenge a few of the fencers to an informal swordfight. Mum trounced three fencing club members, including the captain, before Dad, a new transfer student, stepped up.
Dad: "All right, so we agree. First to fifteen points. Anything goes."
Dad actually put on quite a good showing. He was in the lead for most of the fight. Mum was stronger than him - still is stronger, actually - but Dad was and still is faster than her. His sword had a longer reach, and he scored by stabbing, not by slashing, compounding that advantage. Dad leveraged his speed to keep himself out of range of Mum, slowly but surely racking up the points. But eventually, Dad tired out. He started making mistakes, and Mum, who had been conserving her stamina for the whole match, stopped holding back. 13-11 in Dad's favour slowly tipped to 13-13, and then 13-14. Getting rather desperate, after Mum parried his sword, Dad used his free hand to slug her straight in the face, and then he stabbed her with his sword before she could react. 14-14 now. Anything goes. They had both agreed to that. The punch didn't count, but the sword stab did. Mum reared back from the left hook and angrily retaliated by removing a hand from her sword and throwing a right straight right into Dad's face. She hit him so hard he was thrown off his feet and onto the ground. Despite being stunned - and half-blind as his glasses had been bent quite out of shape from how hard his mask was hit - Dad still managed to leap to his feet and somehow not just parry Mum's shinai but actually score the fifteenth point at the same time. He had blocked the slash with his sword's guard, and the tip had carried on to stab Mum's breastplate.
Dad: "Yeah, I've still got the scar to prove it."
He shows me his right hand where there's a keloid scar over the knuckle of his thumb.
Dad: "I got that because I parried [Mum]'s last blow with the guard of my epee. She hit it so hard that the guard slammed into my hand and cut me through my glove."
The guard of an epee is essentially a metal bowl that covers the top of the wielder's hand to prevent the opponent from stabbing them in the fingers. The rim of the bowl is pretty sharp, as my Dad clearly found out firsthand. Literally.
Me: "So, you fell in love with Dad because he beat you."

Mum: "No, I fell in love with [Dad] because he apologised for punching me and baked me cupcakes. It was pretty sweet."

Me: "The cupcakes or the gesture?"

Me: "Okay. Okay. I know Dad's baking is awesome, but seriously? That's all it took?"

Mum: "No, he was also the only boy in school that treated me as an actual human being and respected me for my thoughts and opinions instead of just my looks or athletic talent."

Me: "Really? Over a hundred boys in school, and only Dad wasn't charmed by your looks?"

Mum: "Oh, he was charmed. Couldn't look straight at me without blushing and stammering. But unlike the rest, he actually listened when I talked and tried his best to treat me like everyone else."

Dad: "To be fair, I was a transfer student. I didn't know about the whole 'gentleman's agreement' thing until after we'd became boyfriend and girlfriend."

Mum: "You nearly got lynched by the boys."

Dad: "Thrice. That I know of. And [Teacher] tried to get me suspended for confessing. I think he was jealous."

Me: "So, was it worth it in the end?"

Both Of Them: "Absolutely."
They never married each other, even after a decade and two children, but are both still very much madly in love. And to think it all started with a punch in the face.

I'm not sure when it happened, exactly - maybe sometime in middle school? - but I'll always remember the day Mom told me I was skipping school, and we were going shopping instead.

AW YEAH.

We spent the morning driving around to Goodwill and various thrift shops, trying on clothes, singing along to the car radio, and later stopping at Subway for lunch - which I remember being a treat, because we got the cookies for dessert.

(This is me around chocolate chip cookies. ALWAYS.)

We didn't talk about school. We didn't talk about my friends or grades or any of those awkward teenage "body-changing" topics. We just told each other which tops looked best, chatted about nothing, laughed, and had fun.

It was the first time I realized Mom wasn't just my mom, she was also my friend.

Mom was an RN while I was growing up, which meant my brother and I got zero sympathy for our scraped knees and boo-boos. Don't get me wrong; Mom was an expert at patching us up - but if we wanted a hearty "You poor thing!", then Dad was the place to go.

I later learned Mom was working nights in the ICU then, and routinely saw the kind of pain and grief I can't even fathom, because she came home and smiled and hugged us just the same.

Once, on another hooky day with Mom, she and I went to the matinee of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - you know, the live-action one?

It was terrible. But Mom loves terrible kid movies, and to this day she'll request we see whatever the latest animated or G-rated flick is, no matter how ominous the reviews, and then she'll laugh and gasp and have so much fun that you'll wind up loving it, too.

In my teens Mom was in a car accident that prevented her from ever working as a nurse again. She had to wear a neck brace for ages, and later had a surgery to wire her jaw shut for a while. Then she got braces... at the same time *I* had braces.

People kept mistaking us for sisters, which Mom REALLY liked, but I just found embarrassing - especially that time an older friend of mine hit on her... with me standing right there.

Today my folks live in a different state, but I'm happy to say they are still my friends. We visit often, and even go to Dragon Con together, where Mom loves dressing up steampunk - with outfits she still puts together from the thrift store.

Lately Mom likes to video chat and show me all the crafts she's teaching during her volunteer work at the local retirement home. And now she and Dad have joined a Harley Davidson group/club/gang(?), so they spend weekends taking long rides together decked out in the most, um, fascinating fashions.

(I could have gone my whole life without seeing my mother in leather chaps, you guys. MY WHOLE LIFE.)

Mom's the most servant-hearted person I know, and has seen and endured a lot of pain, though you'd never know it. Somehow she's managed to keep a sense of wonder and whimsy through life - something I try hard to emulate. She raised me to love reading and Star Trek and fantasy and fun, and taught me that when the going gets rough, you turn up the music and sing along extra loud - and off-key. ;)

For my folks' 40th anniversary a few years back, we sent them to Disney World - mostly for Mom - and I'll never forget her delight.

She's the big kid who makes you remember how great life really is sometimes - even when life really isn't so great. The best moms are like that. And days like today help us remember to thank our moms, and be grateful for the things we just didn't know how to appreciate when we were younger.

So happy Mother's Day, Mom. Thanks for showing me that when I thought you were being the most embarrassing, you were really showing me how to be the best adult. I love you, I'm proud of you, and I hope we can go shopping again someday soon.

PS - This is a first-time-ever cross-post from my other blog, Epbot. Same text, different pictures. So if you'd like to see the version with pics of my mom in steampunk costumes & on motorcycles & hugging awkward young Jen, click here.

*****

Oh and did you forget to send your Mom/Grandma/favorite parental personage a card today? Because you could make it up to them with a card that transforms into a bouquet:

Fresh Cut Paper Pop-Up Flowers

I sent this one to my Mom for her birthday last month - it looks just like this! Even better; it ships free with Prime, so no extra postage needed.

Or you could stock up with the three-pack!

There are more styles and colors at the link.

So the other day I saw this on the interwebs:

And I laughed and I laughed 'til I gave myself the hiccups, and then I wondered how often this actually happens. (The sign thing, not the hiccups. I already know hiccups happen whenever the party has a sudden lull and you're in a big, echo-ey space.)

So even though you may have seen some of these before, I had to put them all up again. Because, FUN TRUE FACT, the more of these you see, the funnier it gets.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drink a big glass of water.
*hiccup*
Or maybe look at some C-section cakes for a good scare.
Thanks to Abigail E., Collen M., Gretchen O., Anony M., Justine T., & all of our inner 10-year-olds for making abbreviations FUN again.
P.S. While we're at it, here's another hilarious reminder that English can be confusing as heck:

Overlord season 4 is scheduled for July this year! The first three seasons did not disappoint us, the fast plot and high quality of drawing let people straight addicted. Now that we see the fourth season coming, the voices of concern are getting louder and louder. Because Overlord is a light novel adaptation, this kind of work usually does not come out in the fourth season, so gradually some people began to worry that the production quality of the fourth season will shrink. Today I will show you how the quality of Overlord season 4 will be from the perspective of anime production.
