Love is amazing.
Not in a greeting-card, say-it-and-forget-it way. In the real, quiet, everyday way — the kind that shows up in small acts, in patience, in someone choosing to stay. I am happy to love and to be loved, and on a day like today it feels right to say that out loud.
If you are looking for the words, Bon Jovi said them better than I could. Thank You for Loving Me is one of those songs that cuts straight to the heart of it — what it means to be seen, to be held up by someone who believes in you even when you do not believe in yourself.
“I couldn’t see the light, I didn’t know day from night,
I had no reason to try… then you came along.” — Bon Jovi, Thank You for Loving Me
To everyone who has loved me, and everyone I get to love: thank you. This one is for you.
Happy Valentine’s Day. ❤️
