Loving someone isn’t just about the big flashy moments that one remembers when thinking of love. Love isn’t the hot steamy feeling you get in their presence, love isn’t what popular media portraits as love, love isn’t believing your partner is perfect, love isn’t about being obsessed with the other person blind to reality, love isn’t about being the perfect couple in front of others and love definitely isn’t something that happens at first sight. The more you look at people in-love for the long run, the more you understand what love actually is.
Love is mundanity
Love is those quite moments of ordinary nothingness. Love is waking up in the morning trying not to wake the other person up, love is those silence in conversations where you enjoy each others company, love is making leeway for their wishes while hiding your sacrifices, love is giving them a hug even when they don’t need it, love is appreciating their work yet being an honest critique, love is understanding your differences and learning to live with them, love is being their support system ready to catch them when they fall, love is getting along with their family and friends just to see them smile, love is having good communication and talking things out and love is being honest even when a lie is easier.
Love… well, in a way, love is everything, yet nothing.
