If someone asked me, “How do you want to be loved?” I might answer, “With gifts, flowers, candles or love letters.” But if they asked me on a deeper level, I would say I want to be loved in a way that feels safe. The kind of love where I don’t have to question if it’s real or temporary. I want consistency. Someone who stays not just when it’s easy or exciting, but also through quiet, ordinary days. I want to be understood without always having to explain every part of myself. Someone who listens not just to respond but to truly understand. I want a love that chooses me every day, not only when it’s convenient but especially when it’s hard. A love that doesn’t leave at the first sign of difficulty, but learns, grows and stays. I want to be loved gently, honestly and intentionally, not just through words, but through actions, every single day.
