Love is what you’re after.

It’s the thing you’re chasing. It’s what you seek.

But it’s not the thing you think you’ll find.

Let me explain.

Love is not some tangible thing that you’re going to stumble upon one day, like finding a penny on the street, and then after that, you’re blessed with an abundance of wealth and happiness.

No — love is something that requires work and dedication and, most of all, patience. Because love comes in all shapes and sizes, in many different forms, and it’s never what we think it’ll be.

When you fall in love with a person, it’s not the person you were looking for all along. It’s the capacity to love another human soul.

To see your love reflected back to you.

Love is a journey

It’s not a place or a destination.

There’s no destination. There’s only the journey.

Love itself is the journey, and you’re in it until your last breath.
