We all crave love, but what is it really?

We all crave love, but what is it really?

It’s such a vague yet certain term something we talk about often, yet sometimes it frightens people. But is it really that scary to talk about the things we like, or is it the word love itself that makes us hesitate?

We often downplay our feelings and say we like something. We’re too scared to say we love a certain thing. But don’t you think that if we truly like something, we will eventually say we love it?

When a person says they love something or someone, it makes it precious. That feeling the one that sparks fireworks inside is the feeling we all want to experience at some point in our lives. We all crave love, no matter who we are guy or girl, old or young.

But love is more than just a word we struggle to say.

Love shows itself in gestures, in actions that don’t always need to be spoken out loud. It lives in effort, in consistency, in choosing someone again and again. Words can be comforting, but without action, they slowly lose their meaning.

Sometimes love isn’t loud or dramatic. Sometimes it’s quiet. It’s found in small moments remembering, checking in, staying, listening. These gestures often say more than the word itself ever could.

But the question that arises in my mind is this what makes you sure that you love someone?

How do you say this is the one, and the ones before were not? What makes this person different from everyone else?

And how do you explain that feeling to someone who is too scared to say it too scared to waste their love on the wrong person?

Maybe love isn’t about certainty at all. Maybe it’s about courage. The courage to feel deeply, to risk being hurt, to trust that giving love is never truly a waste.

Because love, when it’s real, is never just spoken.

It’s shown.

It’s chosen.

It’s felt.

And maybe that’s why we crave it so much.

Maybe love isn’t about certainty.

Maybe it’s about choosing to feel, even when it’s scary.
