Day 05: my definition of love.
let us be sappy. actually let us not. i do like being as hopelessly romantic as the next gal, but that's just because it's part of my personality. i love to love. but, i feel like a lot of girls my age tend to blow up love and "true love" to be a much bigger, more complicated thing than it is.
so here's what i think.
love is liking yourself more when you are around a certain person. it's being so comfortable that you can say something ridiculously stupid and just laugh it off rather than feel stupid. it's being willing, and wanting to do anything to make that other person more comfortable, or even just to see them smile. love is work. you won't always agree, and fights will be had, but you will work it out and carry on cause you love each other. and that's just how it works.
love is between a man and a woman.
love is between roommates and girlfriends.
love is between silly siblings.
love is between a mother and child.
a father and child.
anyone and anyone.
love can be, and is, something you can have with anyone you want to love.
obviously there is love where you kiss, and the love where you don't. but i feel like that's the main distinction between the two.
if i say i love you, it's always true. if i don't say i love you, don't worry. i probably do.
