There was a study done where children ages 4-8 were asked, “What does love mean?” The answers they gave were amazing. So, I decided to ask my kids and friends what their definitions are of love. I got some great ones but I won’t tell you what I got from whom …
“Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in way.”
“Love is that spontaneous feeling you get in your body.”
“Love is divine energy.”
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So, my grandfather did it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”
“Don’t you think love is when the girl puts on perfume and the boy puts on cologne and they go out and smell each other?”
“Love is when my dog licks my face.”
“Love is when you are with someone and you order fries and they don’t ask you to share them.”
“Love makes you smile when you’re tired.”
“Love is when someone hurts your feelings but you don’t get mad because you know if you yell, it will hurt their feelings.”
“Love is when mom makes oatmeal and she takes a bite before giving it to me to make sure it’s sweet enough.”
“When you’re in love, you always want to be together and when you’re not, you’re thinking about being together.”
“Love is unconditional affection with no limits or conditions.”
“When you love someone you want nothing more than for them to be truly happy no matter what it takes because that’s how much you care about them and because their needs come before your own.”
“It’s when they’re the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and when they’re the first thing you think of when you wake up.”
“You can find true love when you learn to love someone you hate.”
“Love is when you tell someone something you think is bad about you and they love you even more.”
“Love is when you tell a guy that you like his shirt, then he wears it ever day.”
“Love is when you are old but you are still in love with your spouse, even though you know each other so well.”
“Love is when you like someone a lot. By a lot, I mean you want to talk to them at least once a day.”
“Love is when you feel really passionate about someone, different from how you feel about your friends.”
Enjoy the day!
