Love.

Sex is not love. Dating isn't love. Talking all night or giving all your time isn't love. Love isn't measured by how much you endure for someone or how much you sacrifice to keep them happy. Love is choosing someone every day, even when it's hard. It's holding them through their chaos, not because you have to, but because you want to. It's being their calm in the storm and their constant when everything feels uncertain. Love It's someone who calms the storm in your heart, who reminds you of your worth when you've forgotten it. It's someone who stands beside you when the world feels against you. It's in their quiet actions, the way they check on you without being asked, the way they make space for your feelings, the way they remember the smallest details about you. It's in the moments when they choose you not out of convenience, but because you're their priority. Love isn't loud, it's steady, it's patient. It's the soft reassurance that you're not alone no matter what.
