Love In All It's Form

Hey Cuties, 

I am back with another blog, which is all about love—but not how you think. I will not discuss red roses, candlelight dinners and grand proposals. I’m talking about the love that shows up when your mom remembers your favourite snack or when your best friend sends memes that perfectly capture you. So let’s dive in.

One type of love that is commonly overlooked is self-love. It’s regrettable how readily we dismiss it. However, before you can share love with others, offering it to yourself is essential—this can be done through self-care, self-acceptance, or merely valuing your existence. On some days it is as simple as buying yourself your favourite flower.

The next one is love from family, which one might have experienced from childhood and continue to have now. This love can be grand gestures or the smallest things that go unnoticed, such as your dad getting your favourite fruits, your mom waking you up for something important, or your sibling making you Maggie at midnight.

Friendship is basically platonic love with a lot of sarcasm and zero filters. Friends are the unpaid therapists who help you survive adulthood, one dumb joke at a time. It’s all about those moments when they say, “Come on, I know you,” and actually prove it—or when you both laugh so hard at something ridiculous, you question how you’re even functioning adults.

Love from strangers is the weirdest kind—it’s when someone hypes up your outfit in a random bathroom. It’s the cashier saying, “Have a nice day!” and you weirdly believe they mean it. Strangers don’t owe you anything, but sometimes they show up with little bursts of goodness that make the world less chaotic. It’s like an accidental Wi-Fi connection when you need it most—brief but magical.

Thanks for taking the time to read! Even when you feel like you’re not enough, know that you are loved and appreciated more than you realize.
