who am i if i cannot feel the swell in my chest every time im immersed deep within an untouched forest?
the day i stop loving is the day i am lost to myself
there is so much to love, if you cannot feel love then you have stopped looking and need to redefine what you believe it means to be in love

love is beautiful. love is pure. love is enduring.
iām not sure if my standards for love are too high, but i worry i donāt mean it. iād change my character, overcome weaknesses for those i say it to, yet it never feels like enough. i want to embrace someone not only through touch, but through the warmth of my actions and presence.
love knows no bounds. i want to break every single wall a person can put up. still, i know there are limits to love. love is undefinedāit is not a singular, universal concept for every person. i fear i can never truly portray my love for another without everything crashing down, whether due to the walls weāve built to shield ourselves from the world or to passing circumstances.
maybe iām not concerned about my feelings for others. maybe the words āi love youā donāt quite serve me justice. still, from this new perspective, itās an affectionate, enkindling acknowledgement to give anotherāakin to kissing your loved one on the cheek each morning before leaving for work.
love: a word that can be used for anyone, whether platonically or romantically. we really should say these words shamelessly to those around us every day. itās a marvel to think over what true love means to you and how it can vary from person to person. i think this is what makes it beautiful.
your idea of love will fit into anotherās idea of love. i hope everyone who reads this is lucky enough to find that person they mesh together with.^^

i have learned that, felt in its deepest momentsālove exists loudest when we give it permission to evade us. within that evasion, an admiration, an appreciationāa feeling of true, honest, vulnerable, raw loveāemerges.
maybe this is why we love people the most when we are separated.
maybe thatās why we love those most in a moment of grief.
maybe thatās why we love our children and inner child the most when they grow up.
but when we prevent itāwhen we prevent ourselves from loss we not only prevent ourselves from finding love but from love finding us.
just some thoughts

you canāt examine it directly, only through its side effects. the feeling itself is beyond words, but we can make rough estimations of it through its byproducts. for me, the biggest one is a quieting feeling in my soul, like the thing in my chest stops kicking for a second when iām with them. my constant desire to find the next big shiny thing fades away, and all i care about is understanding them as well as one human can understand another.
that, and the feeling that you get when youāre on one of those damned frogger rides and it drops from the top. everything in you screams that something is wrong but you cling to your harness and for a moment you laugh and you scream and you fly.
