Sometimes, everything feels out of place. You simply doubt yourself, where you are, who you are, and who you are trying to be. You doubt the sun will keep rising every day. You doubt Earth will keep turning around the sun for 365 days more.

Those moments are when love disappears. Life gets dark and blurred. And, in some of these moments, it is really hard to see colors again. But in some of them, a little fleck of love makes every single thing colorful again. But… what is love to you?

For me, love is easy and simple. Love is felt in unexpected glimpses. Those really fast seconds, you feel the bright inside your eyes and your smile slowly opening. And then, as fast as it came, it disappeared. But the memory of how it felt keeps tied to your bones.

Love is that unexpected moment when you realize your S.O came from the bakery and brought you your favorite candy without having to ask for it. Love is when you realize you are enough and you are your superhero.

Love is opening your ears to the birds singing out of your window, to the flowers blooming and the summer coming. Love is your parents being comprehensive when you thought they wouldn’t. Love is looking at that perfect blue sky with high fluffy clouds and feeling mesmerized.

Love is letting yourself be surprised by life and people around you — and for yourself as well! Why not?
