Can You Define Love?

We love stories of people overcoming the odds. We draw our worth from helping people become better versions of themselves. But what if we fell in love with stories of people maintaining what pure love means? What if we drew our worth from supporting people brave enough to raise the standard of love itself?

So let’s define love — define it so we can teach it.

Picture sitting down with a friend being abused by their partner. How do you convince them to walk away when their idea of love means staying? Now picture sitting with a friend who is abusing their partner. How do you get them to stop when, to them, love means control?

We love the phrase “love is different for different people.” But have we ever stopped to consider that love has never truly been actualized for so many of them?

We watch people move from one bad relationship to the next until the dysfunction becomes their definition of love. We start chasing drama just so we can say we overcame the odds — that we went from helpless to hopeful. We call ourselves a success story because we dreamed small and broke even. And we tell ourselves that’s living.

What if we told you life is actually about surrounding yourself with people who want to maintain love’s value? People who don’t just want to be loved or to give love — but who believe the way they live, every single day, should represent love.

What if we told you love can only be realized by living it — by making it a reality one day at a time?

It will take being a LoveSnob. It will take believing that love can not only be lived, but taught.
