What does love mean to you?
What does love mean to you? I'm curious what others think. So this is what love means to me. So this is something I really never had the answer to before. So I love myself firstly. I feel a lot of people forget about themselves in a relationship, and forget to love themselves or feel it's selfish to love themselves and it's not. I've been guilty of this in the past. So my love is enough for me. Loving your good, bad and ugly. Forgiving yourself for mistakes and choices you have made. Accepting yourself for who you are. I believe you can love someone if you don't love yourself but it's really difficult. So you really should love yourself first or at least putting love into yourself. Love is something built over time. You may have love for someone but truly loving them comes from truly knowing someone. Getting to know them and letting yourself be valuable as well. Love is also fully accepting the person your with. You need to choose someone who your comfortable accepting all of them, and comfortable truly being yourself with this person. We are human and we are not perfect we will make mistakes. But for me loving someone is loving their good, bad and ugly just like myself. Not trying to change them. Being able to truly be yourself with them as well. Knowing that a relationship is 100% and 100% not 50% 50% and sometimes your not always going to have 100 and that's when your partner picks up the slack and sometimes you're both not going to be 100% that's when you make time for each other. Love is being there for the hard times and not giving up on them. Love is being there for them when they are sick and cannot go anything for themselves. Love is celebrating the good moments together. I also believe setting boundaries are also so important and shows love in my opinion. If you respect your partners boundaries and they respect your boundaries that shows love. Communicating even when it's hard. Having those hard conversations that no one wants to have but is super important. Love is trying to see the other person's perspective and trying to work things out. That's some of what love means to me. This was a great question!
