Blissful love involves very little running to each others arms in open fields and tearfully confessing your feelings in a dramatic outpouring of emotion. It involves a lot more hitting each other with paper towel tubes and remembering the way that people like their eggs. And that is beautiful. The fact that love is mundane is incredible. That this powerful and inspiring emotion is so damn common is amazing. The fact that you can find people who deeply love each other in carpool lanes and grocery stores is amazing. Every time a person picks up their phone with “hey honey” there is love there. Every time someone drives their friend to the airport at the crack of dawn there is love there. Every time someone says “do you need help bringing in the groceries?” there is love there. There is love in the most mundane tasks when they are done with or for someone we care about. Blissful, compelling, fulfilling love can be found in all sorts of random mundane places because ultimately that sort of overwhelming and beautiful love is itself very common.
