What Does Love Mean? 19 People Share What Love Means To Them.

Hey guys!

It’s the 14th of February which means it’s Valentines Day! For someone that’s single to stupor you’ll wonder what I’m being all celebratory about. Well, today isn’t only for people in relationships. It’s for EVERYONE! Every single human on earth, because we all deserve love, either romantically or platonically, and to think we have a day to celebrate it. I don’t know about you but that is amazing!

For some people love can be described as a feeling, for some it’s sharing and giving, it can even be described as eating. I’ll describe love as being genuinely happy when you’re around them, laughing non stop and asking jokes, having inside jokes, being yourself without worrying about the persons thoughts, gifting and giving attention, smiling non stop, having their back, enjoying their company, understanding and pushing their goals. Love can be as little as having a bad day and just thinking of talking to them about it, love is a breath of fresh air. Love is fighting but still caring about the next person. Love is peace, hugs, endless eating, laughter, and being there for the person whenever you need to.

I asked people to tell me what love means to them, and from the replies I got it shows how different love can be to every individual. Here’s what they had to say (some answers will have you smiling).

Love is not just a feeling to me. Love is encapsulated by 1 Corinthians 13. It’s not just by saying I love you.

It’s being there for someone. Being patient, kind, thoughtful, caring, gentle, thinking the best of someone. Putting another person before yourself.
