We’ve been sold the idea that love only exists between two people.
That it’s a spark, a romance, a story written for just two characters.

But love is bigger than that.
It’s not just an emotion, it’s a current.
A living energy. A force that moves through everything.

Love is slipping coins into the hand of a stranger who’s cold and tired.
Love is carrying a snail off the sidewalk before someone steps on it.
Love is feeding a hungry street dog and watching its tail wag like a flag of hope.
Love is pausing to hold the elevator for someone running to catch it. 

Love is seeing a baby smile not because it knows you, but simply because you smiled first.

It’s saying thank you and meaning it.
It’s being hopeful when the world tells you not to be.
It’s being proud of yourself for surviving a hard season.

Love is picking up the phone when your friend calls at 3 AM.
It’s forgiving the friend who never said sorry.
It’s choosing to be kind to the one who tried to hurt you.

It’s choosing kindness when you could choose revenge or be angry.

Love is listening without interrupting.
It’s keeping someone’s secret safe.
It’s seeing beauty in a place you used to only see pain.

Love is everywhere
in every small act,
every quiet gesture,
every moment we choose to care.
when we could just look away.

Always chose love.
