We Love To Live


We don’t love because life is tidy and things are perfect and hearts don’t break. We love despite all these things. We love because life is short and mostly sucks, but there is sometimes a person who makes us happy despite their flaws and our own, who reminds us to breathe, and to smile in the morning, a person who stays up with us when we can’t sleep, who makes boring things like vacuuming fun, a person whose fingers seem to leave traces on our skin of a slight sweet burn. And so ultimately we love to live.
Happy Valentine’s Day Baby.
