Love Doesn't Always Look Like...

Love doesn’t always look like flowers “just because.”

Sometimes, love looks more like coming home after a long day to a clean apartment, complete with vacuumed floors and an emptied dishwasher.

Love doesn’t always sound like 10,000 “you’re beautifuls.”

Sometimes, love sounds more like, “What do you want to order for takeout tonight? On me.”

Love doesn’t always look like fiery 50 Shades make out sessions & Victoria’s Secret lingerie.

Sometimes, love looks more like forehead kisses in 20-year-old t-shirts and unwashed hair.

Love doesn’t always sound like the right thing at the right time.

Sometimes, love sounds more like a heartfelt apology after an argument.

Love doesn’t always feel like butterflies and stomach drops.

Sometimes, love feels more like a safe space, a warm heart, a place to call home.

Love doesn’t always look like a boyfriend or a girlfriend or any kind of relationship at all.

Sometimes, love looks more like a happy dance from your furry companion when you come home from work.

Love doesn’t always feel like it comes easily.

But when it’s right, it almost always does.

Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! Have a heart shaped cookie, pop open a bottle of bubbly with your girlfriends, snag a steak dinner with your S/O, give your family a quick phone call, watch a rom-com with your sweet pooch. Celebrate love in all its forms.
