What is LOVE?

I want to be clear that I am not a relationship expert, so everything I write on this topic is solely my opinion and based on my personal experiences.

With Valentine's Day this week, I thought why not spend a week talking about the subject some dread and some adore, love.

To everyone love means something different and that is the true beauty of it. That's why I asked people to tell me what love means to them. I hope one of these definitions of love offers you a new perspective. 

Love is many things but it is never deceitful. 
Nothing toxic comes from genuine love. 
Remember that.

As my mother would say you can't truly love someone until you love yourself. 
Two words: "love confidently."

I believe there are two kinds of love. First, there is the love where you have a connection and appreciation for someone. Then there is the love when you fall head over heels for someone, which is being in love.

Let me introduce to you to Jamie.

She is a genius with HTML code and has a beautiful soul. 

To her  love means having the freedom to be unapologetically yourself. Those who love you aren’t blind to your flaws nor the mistakes you’ve made, but they know that they don’t define you. Those who love you will let you be flawed and beautiful, too.

Finally, when I asked my darling boyfriend what love meant to him. 
He came me the sweetest yet simplest answer. 
He told me, "Love is when you look into my eyes. Love is when you take the time to ask about my day. Love is sharing my life with you."

Sometimes the person you fall for isn't ready catch you.

Always remember being hurt is a choice.
