Love is a verb.
The “feeling” you have that you associate with love is nice. It’s pleasant, until it hurts you. But it isn’t love.
Love is the stuff you do. Love is an act. It’s the way you shape your life around those people. The way you offer up parts of your life to improve theirs. The way you become present.
It isn’t what you say or feel. It’s what you do.
