WHAT IS LOVE? It is every heartbreak and joy. It is everything that worked out and everything that didn’t. It is time, a mere second and all the seasons of life. It’s the one word we commonly carry in our souls but never can define. It’s not just a day on a calendar but all days we breathe.
It’s missing someone because their presence is so indelible you feel it when they’re not near you. It’s looking at someone next to you and reading their thoughts in their eyes. It’s sweet. It’s bitter. It’s a friendship that guides you. It’s a competitor that pushes you. It’s a lover that calms your storms. It’s a parent that dries your tears.
It’s being afraid. It’s being at peace. It’s easy. It’s frustrating. It’s a comfortable pair of slippers. It’s a blister on your heel. It’s risking everything. It’s being contented with nothing. It’s honesty and little white lies for all the right reasons. It’s sublimity, the terror and the beauty of human experience.
I guess the best way to describe it is: Love is everything.
Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends. Drink it up and pour yourselves another because you deserve all the above... not just today but everyday!
