 As a society, we are embarrassed by love. We treat it like an obscenity. We reluctantly admit it, even saying the word makes us stumble and blush. It's a word that people feel if they use too often, it will lessen the power of it. Almost like we inherently understand its meaning, its weight. When you say that word, you have to mean it, right? And when you say it, it often becomes so real. But this isn't about the word, it's about everything that comes with the word. To love you must be gentle, for love is fragile. To love you must be patient, for love is demanding. To love you must be caring, for love demands understanding. To love you must be willing, to put yourself and your pride aside for the one you love. Love is not just the butterflies in your stomach that you feel when you see that person. Love is action, it's bearing the most vulnerable parts of yourself, and entrusting them to another, knowing that they will be tender with your delicate heart. To love is to do anything to see your other filled with joy. To love is to help each other heal, grow, and encourage each other. To love is to challenge your lover to be a better person. To love is to be a safe haven for each other's hearts. To love, first, one must understand and truly love themselves. If you do not know yourself, truly and deeply, how can you know another? Love is as love does, we do not have to love, we choose to love. No matter how many times love might fail or hurt, leaving me confused and angry, I can never give up believing in love. Just think about it for a moment. The idea that two people from two completely different worlds, whether it be cultures, personalities, even two people on the opposite ends of this earth. The idea that they can meet and bond and love and choose love. Two people who don't even speak the same language, they can know love. Isn't it absolutely absurd? Out of all the times and years they could have been born, out of all the billions of people that existed on this planet, out of all the places they could have been. They have met, and more importantly, you have chosen each other. This singular individual has similar interests, values, and ideas as you. They are willing to support you and compliment you. They challenge you. And after all that, you're embarrassed to say that you love them, embarrassed to show it, embarrassed to say that you think about them before you go to sleep. And they are the first thing you think about in the morning as you wake. Some of you fear it, you fear opening yourself to another. Even to make new friends, you fear it. But is loneliness not punishment enough? Don't fear love, don't be weak. Love is for the strong, for the brave, the feeling of safety, of warmth, that feeling of home. It outweighs any sadness, any heartbreak, hell, even a small crush does. The butterflies, the childlike infatuation, those feelings are feverish sometimes. They are greater than any reservations or fear about love. That joy, I can never give up on that, and I hope you don't either. I will choose it eleven times even if it fails me ten times. Celebrate love all the time, but make it special today. Who cares if it's commercialized? Make it special. Appreciate that you have someone who is willing to grow alongside you, someone that has chosen you. Whether it be a friend, that special someone, or even your family, tell them that you love them, and show them today, and every day after that. Learn how they love to be loved. Learn to appreciate the utter absurdity of love and bask in its warmth. Don't be embarrassed by love. Don't be embarrassed to say it, and never be embarrassed to show it. To choose love is one of this world's greatest and most selfless acts, and one of its bravest. So choose it, every single day. Choose it. Happy Valentine's Day. Just wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone watching, and everybody who has stopped by, and I really do appreciate all of the kind comments and words. I especially want to shout out those supporting me on Patreon. Y'all are spending your hard earned money to support me, and I'm extremely, extremely grateful.
