There are a lot of things you can give up on in this life, but love is not one of them. There are a lot of things you can let go of, a lot of things you’re allowed to say you were wrong or a little too hopeful about. There are a lot of things you can age out of, phase through, and move on from, but love is not one of them. You have to believe in love up until the very end - real love, true love, honest love. To not give up on love is to be open to how it may come, and when. To not give up on love is to accept that the deepest possible experience of it might not look exactly as you pictured. To not give up on love is to realize that it will not be something that sweeps you off your path, but helps you stand more firmly on your own two feet. Love is willing to care for you in the most constant, simple, human ways. In the end, love is not something you find, it’s something you learn to see surrounding you already. It’s something you heal yourself into being able to fully receive.
