What is Love?

You might be thinking about it all wrong

What is Love?

Let's talk about love. Love is beautiful. Every human is capable of love. It can be given. It can be received. It can be felt. A lot of humans forget that they can give love, though. They’ll spend their lives forgetting to receive it too. Now, they might think they're feeling love, but certain people have got love all wrong and this makes them seem cold to the people around them that are feeling love.

Love. It's caring for someone or something even when it makes no sense. It's continually putting the needs of that person or thing first even when it's hard. “4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”(1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV)

The purpose of this article is to remind you firstly that love is something that you need to remember to give, receive, and feel and secondly (through pictures of animals) I want to spread some love to you! If you're reading this article, I love you, God loves you, and so do a lot of adorable animals.

I hope these pictures make you just as happy as they make me! Go out and show someone love today. Give hugs to the people who are close to you. Every moment is precious in life. If you have an opportunity to love someone and to receive love, take it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
