I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but love is everything. Yes, everything! It’s the beginning, the middle, the end...and sometimes, the reason you’re up at 2 AM stalking someone’s dog on Instagram to determine if they’re still single. Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Love is what makes us human—well, that and our questionable choices at karaoke night. It’s a mood and an obligation all rolled into one messy burrito of emotions. Think about it: love has the power to make you feel invincible one second and like a puddle of spilled iced coffee the next. You’re walking down the street all “Love is my superpower!” only for someone to ghost you faster than your Wi-Fi disconnects in a Zoom meeting.
And then there’s romantic love. Oh, honey. It’s both the dream and the circus act. One moment, you're swooning over their ability to pronounce charcuterie correctly, and the next, you're silently judging the way they load the dishwasher. (Who stacks plates like that?!)
Love will have you making absolute clowns of yourselves, though. Remember when you "didn't like hiking," but suddenly you're trekking 12 miles up a mountain just to impress someone? Love is the reason you own an overpriced yoga mat despite your lifelong feud with downward dog. And let’s not even start on the unsolicited poetry phase—those rhymes haunt you, don’t they?
But let’s be real: love isn’t always sunshine and matching Christmas pajamas. Sometimes, love is that friend who texts “what r u doing” at 11 PM and really means “I need to rant about my ex AGAIN.” Love is showing up for people, even when their life choices make you question their sanity, like voluntarily eating pineapple on pizza (you know who you are).
Here’s the thing, though: love is also what makes life bearable when you’re having one of those “spilled coffee, late bus, forgot deodorant” kinds of days. It’s the hug when you need it, the bad jokes that make you snort-laugh, and the sheer fact that someone out there tolerates your obsession with true crime podcasts.
So yes, love is everything. It’s messy, unpredictable, and occasionally smells like feet (seriously, stop taking your shoes off in the living room), but it’s worth it. And if no one’s told you lately, friend, I love you too—quirks, questionable decisions, and all. Now, go spread some of that chaotic love energy around, and maybe share a meme while you're at it. ❤️
P.S. Don’t forget to love yourself. You’re the main character, friend.
