If you are going to love, love like you mean it. Don’t wait until tomorrow to say how you feel, because tomorrow isn’t promised. Tell that person that you care. Look them in the eyes and really see them. Kiss them without fear, but instead a passion that burns deep inside of you. Have gratitude for what you have in this very moment. Do not be afraid to be vulnerable and fragile, because the right hands will be delicate enough to navigate all of that with compassion. Be honest, kind, and meaningful with your words, say what you mean and mean what you say. Love like there is no tomorrow, like you only have this present moment right now and the best thing you have ever seen is standing right in front of you. If you are going to love, love like there is no one else, like you are addicted to their touch, the sound of their laughter, and that smile that lights up a room. Love like they are your fairytale, and that life without them doesn’t even exist.
Love like you have never been hurt or had a broken heart. Love like you have never given it your all only to have lies and deceit tossed in your face. Love like you have not watched someone you thought you loved become a perfect stranger. Love like you have never watched a relationship unravel in front of your eyes. Love like you have never experienced the most volatile toxic behavior that made you question your sanity. Love like you have never been disappointed because someone filled your head with hopes and dreams, but delivered a nightmare. Do not half love or kind of commit. Do not love with a wondering eye and loose lips. Do not love only on the days it is convenient for you. Do not love with the intention to hurt or betray someone. Do not love with no accountability for poor words and actions. Love with everything you have in you, because what else is there to really do in this life?
Love conquers all. It begins and ends with you. Love someone with your whole heart. Show them the good, the bad, and the ugly. Be your true authentic unapologetic self. Love like the world will end tomorrow. Love when times are tough and emotions are running high. Love even though we live in a world full of hate and divide. Love enough to ugly cry in front of them. Love through your words, actions, and choices. If you are going to love, love with purpose. Love with intention. Love like you are committed to creating a beautiful life with them. Love waking up next to them, because their mere presence brings so much peace and happiness. Love like your heart is finally in a safe place. Be love. Give love. Accept love. Just love.
courageously choosing you
