this is a targeted rec and it may be pathetic, but only slightly.
really what i love about this is the realization of loveâs power. you can get the shit kicked out of you emotionally and still feel love. the very thing that kicks you down is the one that will raise you up and i just find that so touching.
the yearning sucks, but the love is what keeps me going and ultimately itâs whatâs made me happy in the end.

love is beautiful. love is pure. love is enduring.
iâm not sure if my standards for love are too high, but i worry i donât mean it. iâd change my character, overcome weaknesses for those i say it to, yet it never feels like enough. i want to embrace someone not only through touch, but through the warmth of my actions and presence.
love knows no bounds. i want to break every single wall a person can put up. still, i know there are limits to love. love is undefinedâit is not a singular, universal concept for every person. i fear i can never truly portray my love for another without everything crashing down, whether due to the walls weâve built to shield ourselves from the world or to passing circumstances.
maybe iâm not concerned about my feelings for others. maybe the words âi love youâ donât quite serve me justice. still, from this new perspective, itâs an affectionate, enkindling acknowledgement to give anotherâakin to kissing your loved one on the cheek each morning before leaving for work.
love: a word that can be used for anyone, whether platonically or romantically. we really should say these words shamelessly to those around us every day. itâs a marvel to think over what true love means to you and how it can vary from person to person. i think this is what makes it beautiful.
your idea of love will fit into anotherâs idea of love. i hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough to find that person they mesh together with.^^

so simple but it has stuck with me since. it's probably been a year since i received this message and the sender is now a hinge match turned close dear friend. i go back to look at and think about this whenever i'm down on myself
close second is one of my new school friends telling me, after only knowing me a few months, that she can see how strongly i love people and that she loves me for it. i've always seen it as a fault but i deserve to be loved for those too

On one hand: it just flows. You can't get enough of them. Your eyes, their eyesâcould be the only thing that matters in the whole world. Their voice hits you like electricity. When alone, you wonder why you aren't with them. Mundane things, at their side, become adventures. You occupy your own universe that is a secret from all others.
And on the other hand: it is a labor. Your beloved, who stirs and ignites your affection so much, is also the one who most exposes your pride and weaknesses. As you dive into them and truly know them, you discover they are broken and selfish and human. And they discover that about you. The easy slide down the snowy hill of excitement becomes a long drag back up the other side.
But then the two of you put those parts together: combine the thrill and the sparkle with the messiness and the suffering. Your together love becomes something deeper and more enduring. You say: I see you fully but I choose you still, with all my heart and soul.
It becomes something that will withstand any storms that may come, something more mature and tested:
"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction." âAntoine de Saint-Exupery:

even if shit continues to hit the fan, pretty much everyone ends up exactly where theyâre supposed to be. you will find a place to live, a job, a lover, friends, etc. just keep going and it will be ok.
