A Commentary on Love

Love is something of a selfish and selfless feeling. It is so unique in the way that we can hand someone our soul but also take somebody’s heart and do with it what we please simply because they let us. Love can be beautiful and tragic and everything in between. It can be mean and unfair but also light and pure. Love can be scorching and all consuming and it can ruin someone just as quick as it could breathe life into another. 

And what a privilege it is to love and be loved. To feel an emotion that is so raw and powerful. To allow ourselves to break down that wall and let another person take reigns of something so deep within us. To be so vulnerable with a single emotion is something so special. 

The different ways in which people show love is an art in itself. A language unspoken but heard all the same. Love is a grounding touch on the wrist. Love is a gift on a random Wednesday. Love is fixing that broken jewelry box that you just loved. Love is simply making sure to remind you that you are loved.
