Fall in love with someone who chooses you. Someone who fights for what you have when difficulty hangs heavy in the air, someone who insists you are stronger together, capable of beating the odds, capable of turning even the messiest parts of life into lessons instead of reasons to leave. Fall in love with someone who is your calm peace in this chaotic world; someone who builds your restless heart a safe space in their own.
Fall in love with someone who take the time to remember how you like your coffee in the morning, someone who just picks up on your energy because they have made the effort to dive into the depths of it. Fall in love with someone who pays attention, someone who holds you a little tighter when the world tries to soften you. Fall in love with someone who sees you, for you.
Fall in love with someone who inspires you to be a better person. Someone who shows you the gardens within your soul where you only ever used to see cemeteries. Fall in love with someone who makes you believe in your goodness, someone who supports you, who encourages your mind and talents every moment you question your purpose.
But most importantly — fall in love with someone that makes an effort that stretches far beyond poetic words or passive convenience. Fall in love with someone who genuinely fills your life with wonder, and foundation, and the kind of hope that spills out of you and into everything you do. Fall in love with someone who teaches you love can be rediscovered, reimagined — transformed into something that is honest and gracious and so for you that it feels like it was knit into your cells before you even met them. Fall in love with someone who makes you want to be vulnerable, someone who shows you it’s okay to have faith in the heart of another.
Fall in love with someone who is your safe place, and your biggest adventure. And never forget that you can also be this person for yourself, too.
