I think all days are good days to remember love 💕

*which admittedly, is a great excuse to be posting this today and not on Valentine’s Day, cause honestly I just didn’t find time the last two days.

But hey- here we are.

Love is everything. Love is something we all deserve to receive and to give. Love is a forever mystery and a forever discussion and forever one of the most beautiful things we get to experience.

In honor of love, I want to acknowledge: I’m in love with so many people and places and things. And when it feels like too much, I remember: LOVE is something that is expansive. The more we love the more we train our capacity to love even more.

Self love. Romantic love. Platonic love. Familial love. The sweetness of love for animals. Love for inanimate objects. Love for memories. Love for a place.

Love for a version of ourselves we were, but no longer are. Love for a version we long to be.

Messy, sticky, complicated love.
The simplicity of unconditional love.
Love as safety, nourishment, warmth.
Love as the antidote to fear.

Can we simply be loving to ourselves and others? Can we live as love?

I’m wrapping each of you in a shimmery blanket of love, and the acknowledgment that wherever you are and whatever you’re going through: You deserve love 💛
