# Love is Everything <span style="font-size: 13px;"> <span style="color: black;">Planted:</span> <span style="color: gray;"> 26 September 2025</span> </span> I've been thinking about this phrase a lot lately. >*Love is everything.* I held onto it for a long time, with it almost becoming a core philosophy in my own existential cosmos. Eventually, I let myself be talked out of it, which is something I heavily regret. Never before have I let my views be bent in the hopes of being perceived differently, perhaps as more likable, or in the hopes of it changing something. And I'm happy I took notice and found my way back to this core belief of mine. I do believe love is everything. Because all of its, in my opinion, natural prerequisites and consequences are the qualities we should strive to embody: loyalty, honesty, vulnerability, passion. When we truly love, I believe there is a natural inclination to live these values. And I don't mean only romantic love; this applies to every form: between friends, family, partners, even passions. And an even hotter take, if you will: I do believe true love is unbreakable. I see this in myself, at last. I don't care what life throws at me. I don't care what challenges it presents. If I love, truly love, that love is always going to win. I'm always going to take care of it. I'm always going to fight for it. I'm always going to live it. It's a fire that can't be extinguished. I believe to truly understand and comprehend these statements, you *have* to feel it yourself. Otherwise, it is nothing but a fantastic, abstract pipe dream. And this is also what makes it so incredibly difficult, as especially in terms of a bond, it requires one vital element: Mutuality. Reciprocation. #thoughts --- <div class="button-row"> <button id="like-button"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined" id="like-icon">favorite</span> <span id="like-count">0</span> </button> <a href="Write Something" class="bookmark-link internal-link"> <button id="comment"> <span class="material-symbols-outlined" id="comment-icon">chat_bubble</span> </button> </a> </div>
