What is love, huh?
Love is..... Complicated. People both live and die for love. It's the only emotion that can bring us to both the depths of ruin and the peaks of nirvana.
Love is..... Powerful. It can be a motivator to do things you'd never think possible - a push to reach heights you've always considered previously unreachable.
Love is..... Acceptance. It's the desire to care for somebody even with their flaws and mistakes. It's the desire to let the one you love know that it's okay to not be perfect, because to you, they are perfectly imperfect.
Love is..... Passion. It's what makes you bite your lip when you think about someone. It's what keeps someone at the forefront of your mind all day every day. It's what makes everybody but you and the one(s) you love disappear.
Love is..... Teamwork. It's taking your loved one's hand and laughing in the face of roadblocks or goals that were once intimidating. It's building each other up to the point of being strong individually and inexorable together.
Love is..... Forgiveness. It's knowing that at some point in time you're probably going to be hurt because no relationship is perfect, but being ready and willing to say "it's okay, I forgive you" and caring for them just as much as you did the day before.
Love is..... Patience. It's understanding and accepting that things might not happen as quickly as you'd like them to. It's realizing that even if you can't reach a milestone together by a certain time, you can still get there.
Love is..... Perseverance. It's never giving up on one another. It's finding the silver lining even when things seem to be at rock bottom. It's remembering why you have such a fervent desire for someone, and holding on to those things no matter what.
Love is..... The Little Things. It's going on dates even when you've been together for years. It's remembering to tell someone they're beautiful or handsome. It's a good morning or a good night text when you are away from each other. It's the little coincidences you both find. It's the little jokes that make you both laugh.
Love is..... Sacrifice. It's giving up goals you once held for yourself because you can reach better ones together. It's giving up your time and effort to make someone feel wanted, appreciated, and important. It's meeting in the middle instead of having it your way.
Love is..... Home. It's finding that person that makes you feel at home, no matter where you are. It's a feeling of safety and light, no matter how dark or dire things might be, as long as you are with that person.
Love is everything that makes life worth living, and more. It can't truly be defined.
