Love is getting to know your significant others better, learning about them, and showing it through real actions.
“You’re allergic to dust, let me sweep the floor. You can wash the dishes instead.”
“You don’t like spicy food, right?”
“Your eyebrows furrow when you concentrate.”
-
Love is respecting each other’s boundary.
“I know you need some time alone, I’ll leave you a while then.”
-
Love makes room for change and growth without the fear of judgment or rejection.
“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been mad at you. I’ll do better.”
“It’s okay, I shouldn’t have said that too.”
-
Love is taking care of each other.
“You’ve been sneezing a lot, you sure you don’t want me to buy you some medicine?”
“Here, take this blanket. I know you’re cold.”
“You look tired. Get rest, let me handle it.”
-
Love is letting your significant others know that certain things just remind you of them.
“I came across this post on Instagram and thought I’d send it to you.”
“This store I’m currently at is playing a John Mayer’s song. It just reminds me of you.”
-
Love is sharing foods.
“Look, I bought you this snack that you really like!”
“I don’t mind sharing this food with you. I can’t finish this on my own anyway.”
-
Love is being in sync despite—and in spite of—all the differences.
“You know what, every time I look at you, I feel like I'm standing in front of a mirror. I know we don't have too many things in common, but I think we are so much alike. The way we don't give a fuck to shits we don't care about, the jokes we play, these attitudes we have toward certain things, and more. I feel like we’re connected.”
-
Love feels like coming home—to that familiarity of comfort, even in uncomfortable places.
“You know you can talk to me about anything, right?”
“Thank you for keeping me company after all this time.”
-
Love is… many things, really. It’s much more than just an emotion. Love is something you show through various actions. It doesn’t have to be big—heck, oftentimes love is actually found in so many little things. And that’s why we all experience it differently, be it between lovers, families, friends, or anyone else. As long as it’s love, then it matters.
