No one really knows what love is.
According to Shakespeare, love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.
When you think about that, it's the words a true romantic, right?
But, maybe instead of trying to rush into love so quickly, we should take the time to enjoy life.
Love yourself, before someone loves you.
Maybe instead of trying to find someone to make us happy, we should find happiness within ourselves.
That's the key to love and happiness itself.
Take the time to love yourself first.
Take time to find things in life you love.
Love.
The way leaves complete the look of a crisp autumn day.
The days where you can just lounge around and relax.
That smell of freshly brewed coffee.
It's the little things that we should love more, but we take for granted.
The sooner people learn to love things other than a significant other, that we're taught we ABSOLUTELY need, we might find out what love actually is.
You shouldn't have to be validated be a specific person in order to say you 'love'.
Whether it be something or someone, if you love something, it's love.
No one can change that.
Because love is one of the most confusing feelings a person can have, yet we choose to let it take control of our life.
If you're going to love, let it be something worth your while.
"Love is old.
Love is new.
Love is all.
Love is you." - The Beatles
