The kind of love I still believe in

The kind of love I still believe in

Today I wrote down a reminder to myself:

Love isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about being present.

It’s choosing to show up even when it’s messy.

It’s saying, “I’m here,” even when the words don’t come out right.

It’s holding space for the hurt, without letting go of the hope.

I believe in love that doesn’t give up.

Love that listens.

Love that heals.

And even on the days when doubt is louder than faith —

I keep writing,

because I still believe love can be softer than the pain.

I can't give up, nearly 8 years down the drain.. because I fucked up and sought another outside of our relationship.. dumb stupid idiot... I wish I could fix this somehow .. I won't give up, but I won't be a bother to her anymore .

Love in 2025: Is It Still Real? 🤔
We’re living in a time where connection is everywhere— but real connection feels rare. You can meet hundreds of people with a swipe. Be told you’re beautiful ten times a day. Stay up late texting someone who disappears in the morning. But is it love… or just loneliness wearing a mask?
