It’s Valentines day, and I am a true sap, so I’m going to write about what love is to me.
Love is commitment, love is honour, love is respect, and love is hapiness. Love doesn’t stab you in the back, or make you hate someone, or make you feel alone. Love is honest, pure even if you aren’t, and safe. Love is a comfort to a desperate heart, a life ring to a drowning soul.
Love isn’t unattainable. Love isn’t unreachable, and it isn’t just reserved for certain people.
I hear sometimes people asking, “how do you know when you’re in love?” And the only answer I can ever think of is, you just know. I know exactly how un-helpful that is. But when it’s love, true, real love, you will know.
Love is not a two-day long relationship, and love isn’t in posessions. Love isn’t in obsessiveness and it isn’t in correction.
Love is acceptance.
And if you haven’t found it yet, that’s okay. If you found it then lost it, that’s okay, too. And if you found it and turned your back, even that’s okay.
Happy Valentines day, everyone. And if you haven’t got a loved one to spend it with, then curl up with some ice cream and a movie, even if it makes you guys out there feel like a girl.
Alright, I’m done.
