60 Tiny Things That Define What Love Really Is … In A BIG Way

Tags: love giphy

A touch. A glance. A feeling.

Love.

People say you know it when you feel it.

And while that’s true, it’s also frustrating as HELL.

I have been in love. I have been in love more than once, and I still don’t know that I can answer that question: What is love?

No, no, no. Not that. We all know “What Is Love” the song. Like for real: What the heck is love, anyway?

To me, love is so many different things that it’s easy to lose your grip on its meaning. Love is a feeling in the pit of your stomach sure, but it’s also a choice. Love is a quickie in the bathroom or it’s 60-year marriage. Or it’s both.

Love is so many things to so many different people.

I thought I would try to write down what love is, and I don’t know if I succeeded, but I think I got pretty close.

Love is …

1. … kicking down your walls.

2. … making yourself vulnerable.

3. … taking a flying leap.

4. … thinking about someone else’s needs.

5. … putting those needs above your own.

6. … is wishing you lived inside someone’s head and heart.

7. … holding in your farts.

8. … still being in love when you can’t hold the farts in anymore.

9. … saying yes to the universe.

10. … going to his terrible office karaoke party.

11. … the way your heart glows when he smiles.

12. … being able to lash out because you know he isn’t going anywhere.

13. … 3 a.m. dance parties in rural hotels.

14. … hurting when they hurt.

15. … trying stuff you always swore you’d never do.

16. … realizing how lost you’d be without them.

17. … saying goodnight every night no matter where you are.

18. … when they let you sleep in even though they’re up with the sun.

19. … a cheesy disco party.

20. … a bomb of glitter that you never have to clean up.

21. … getting drunk off their skin.

22. … wanting to have their baby.

via GIPHY

23. … bursting out laughing in the middle of stupid fight.

24. … telling all of your secrets. Even THAT one.

25. … bringing your imaginary friend to life.

26. … a safe place to fall.

27. … calling each other out on shit that matters.

28. … letting the shit that doesn’t matter go.

29. … sharing a guilty pleasure.

30. … telling them about the scar on your shin.

31. … electric.

32. … a battlefield.

via GIPHY

33. … breakfast in bed and the Sunday paper.

34. … sitting together and saying absolutely nothing.

35. … not knowing if you’re going to make it through this.

36. … making a promise you hope to God you can keep.

37. … a test.

via GIPHY

38. … an honor.

39. … from heaven.

40. … from outer space, a drug sent by aliens to keep us sexed up and stupid.

41. … the first time you had spaghetti.

42. … sitting together in the hospital waiting room.

43. … slamming the door and swearing you’ll never talk to him again.

44. … your heart flipping over when he texts you.

45. … laughing so hard you pee a little.

46. … suddenly turning into a cat person.

47. … nicknames.

via GIPHY

48. … how your heart goes soft when you see his face right when he wakes up.

49. … swallowing your pride.

50. … buying him his favorite candy bar just because.

51. … still thinking about him years later.

52. … feeling nervous when you meet his friends.

53. … hugging his mother for the first time.

54. … popping that zit on his back.

via GIPHY

55. … catching his eyes when you’re putting on makeup in the mirror.

56. … a disaster.

57. … your undoing.

58. … fighting as hard as you can to stay awake just to be together a little while longer.

59. … all there is.

60. Love is why we’re here.
