"love, it's a special day."

love to me is listening.
it's keeping your mouth shut sometimes.
it's keeping the candy jar full.
it's waiting for hours for someone who said they wouldn't be that long.
it's sacrifice.
it's spending money on others.
it's roommate birthday lunches.
it's last days together.
it's spending time apart.
(even on the one day a year you and your best friend hug.)
it's preparing.
it's long talks.
it's giving a "like"
and it's making new friends.
it's being you even when you know others are judging you.
it's support through everything.
it's praying together.

this year love means more to me than it did last year because i went through different things and i saw people love in new and bigger ways.
i saw more of what the Savior needed me to see
and that opened my mind and it opened my heart.
it helped show me more of all the different kind of loves that are out there.

happy valentines day.

love, j
