Love Month, Day 28: Love is...


Okay. So we all know the whole "love is patient, love is kind..." bible verse. But what else is love?

Love is smiling when you don't feel like smiling but because the other person deserves a smile. Love is giving away the last piece of your favorite dessert. Love is taking the time to make yourself happy. Love is being willing to die so another person can live. Love is inside every one of us. Love is what keeps our faith alive, despite the most tragic of circumstances. Love is buying a spontaneous gift because you know it'll make the person smile. Love is opening up the gates inside of ourselves and letting someone else in. Love is knowing someone's flaws and loving them anyway. Love is knowing you can tell someone anything and they won't judge you. Love is a smile in a crowded room. Love is following your heart, no matter what. Love is those chance moments that work in our favor. Love is doing something when you aren't asked. Love is more important than anything. Love is honoring the memory of a lost loved one. Love is not fear. Love is laughter. Love is a blinding blue sky. Love is the pure smile of a baby. Love is letting people know how you feel. Love is saying you're sorry even if you aren't. 

Love is, quite literally, all around.
