Love is giving of yourself, risking yourself, in ways you never thought you would. When you love someone, your giving your time, attention, and heart. The most precious of these is your heart. You’re trusting the person (or people) you love not to break it. It’s always being there for them. Either a skype call, IM, text, call, or drive away when they need you. It’s celebrating the big things like birthdays and promotions or celebrating the little things like getting through something difficult or surviving a tough mental health day. Love is spending time together doing anything, even just sitting around because the company means more than doing something together (sometimes). Love is compromise. Love is both butterflies, or that warm feelings that spreads from your head to your toes, and heartache. Love is patience. Love is understanding. Love is acceptance. Love is beautiful. And Love is terrifying because you never know how much of yourself you’re willing to give for someone you love, until you do it.
