Love isn’t the fireworks or the grand gestures—it’s the quiet choice to stay when the fireworks fade. It’s showing up on the ordinary days, listening without fixing, forgiving the small hurts, and building a life where two people become better together than they ever were alone.
At its best, love is patient, stubborn, and kind. It doesn’t keep score. It says, “I see you, even the messy parts, and I’m still here.”
And sometimes, the deepest love starts with learning to give that same grace to yourself first.
