Yes, this is another article about Parks and Recreation. It is easily one of the funniest shows that has ever been made, and no one can ever convince me otherwise. If you haven't seen it, I demand that go and watch every single episode. Seriously, stop what you're doing and go binge watch some Netflix. I'll see you in a few days.

A running joke throughout the show is how Leslie interacts with the people she loves. She goes ALL IN. She gives gifts extravagantly and is quick to remind people just how wonderful they are. And while it's funny to make jokes about how she just loves her friends and her job way too much, I think there are some really important things we can learn from her about loving the people in our lives. I mean, really, is there a more encouraging person than Leslie Knope? Here is a list of a few things that the woman I believe should be our future president has taught us about loving people.

1. Leslie makes her friends a top priority in her life. Right behind waffles.

2. She would never let a guy come between a friendship.

3. She will never let Ann forget how great she is.

4. Like seriously, she REALLY loves Ann.

5. A LOT.

6. Remember that time Jerry painted her as a naked centaur and she defended him?

7. She sometimes plays matchmaker.

8. She's super empathetic.

9. She's always looking out for her friends.

"I'm sure he's not cheating on you. But if he is, he's a monster. And if he's not, you guys are great together. But if he is, I will kill him."

Leslie loves the people in her life with a fierceness that can easily be discounted as "too much." I think Leslie is proof that you never really can love too much. The people in your life are the ones who walk with you in the good times and the bad. Some of them will be there for the biggest moments in your life. They will be there to pick you up when you are at your lowest of lows. I think Leslie has figured out how to truly appreciate these people.

I think when it all comes down to it, I'd like to be known as someone who loved like Jesus... and Leslie Knope.
