how do you best like to be loved.

Matteo Russo —  ❛ laugh with me long and loving ❜

jokes are simple and easy to comprehend, and laughter helps with all that tension in your belly. you just want a break from the other stuff, and if someone makes you laugh, then that means that they care, in some way, about your happiness. especially, if, after making you laugh the once, they try and do it again. if laughter is the greatest medicine, then you can share it and no one has to be sick. it is contagious, and free to give and receive. there is never too much of it. there is never too much of you. i hope when you laugh you speak it from your belly. that you use your muscles and let it fill the room. that you know the sound rings like a bell and is lovely. i hope that when you smile you show your teeth.

how do you best like to be loved.

Elias Castillo —  ❛ stay with me while the storm is strong ❜

we all need someone sometimes, and you often don't feel like you are worth someone remaining. you are, though. i know that you crave for someone to be there and rest their hand against your back during the bad times. for a loving voice to lull you to sleep with a cadence of compassion and a desire to remain. you just want someone to remain. through and past the bad parts when you know it is difficult. you want to fall asleep to their voice and wake up to them still there in the morning. you want them to know the way that you take your tea and keep a box of your favorite flavor in their pantry in case you have a bad night and need to come over. you want to trust someone enough to give them a key to your house. and you deserve it, love. you deserve for someone to linger. you deserve to place your trust in another and know that they'll help you brush your hair if you're just too tired. you deserve for someone to remain.

Kyra Sandoval —  ❛ something you want to believe in ❜

at some point you experienced something that you thought was love and then it turned out to be an cheap imitation of the affection and sincerity that you wanted and deserved. you believe you fell for the façade, but you didn't, i promise you. you believed in love enough that you believed you could shape insincerity into love if you just tried hard enough. but love - real, genuine love - you have to try, but you don't have to try to make something that isn't love into love. keep believing in love, because the beautiful kind that you try so hard to see in everything, it exists for you. you deserve more and you deserve the love that you want.

Lorelei Voss —  ❛ something you think happens to other people ❜

i know how it feels, seeing people who have the most perfect relationships, couples and groups of friends to confide in and feel completely themselves with. and then you look at yourself and wonder what you're doing wrong to not be in their position. but oh i promise you you're not doing anything wrong, you are not the exception to love or genuine care. you are deserving and you always have been, and there are people who are gonna come along and recognise that. you're going to feel seen one day.

Asher Fitzpatrick—  ❛ something you've feared ❜

love can be a source of fear, of course it can, anything positive can be unravelled enough to make it negative. but it doesn't have to always be like that. maybe your past experiences have lead you to believe that love is equal to pain, so it's easier to not commit to relationships or anything making you happy. maybe those experiences have taught you that when you experience any genuine love, it's just a something to fear going away. but true, genuine love isn't going to leave. there are people who will love you, people's love that you won't have to be afraid of. vulnerability and opening up are hard, but people who are patient and understanding of that? they're the ones that aren't going to leave, and they're gonna love you so much, i just know it.

Maria Gilmore —  ❛ everything ❜

i know you because i am you. love is everything to you and you're trying so hard to find it in every part of your life; you've refused to let yourself be blinded by apathy and cynicism and in its own way, that's a form of love. you're trying to make everything love and i hope you never stop doing that, but sometimes we can't make everything into love - being treated unfairly, feeling unheard and unseen, having your words twisted - those things aren't love, please don't try to make them feel like they are. you have so much love inside you and learning to express that externally is hard, but i'm proud of you and i hope you take care of yourself. you create love wherever you go, i hope you give that love to yourself too.

Nathaniel Crestwood —  ❛ something you need ❜

it goes without saying that we all need love, but maybe that's a realisation you've had to have. and you don't just need it, you want it, don't you? i hope you know that you can allow yourself to believe that. you're allowed to want love, it doesn't make you greedy or needy, and there's nothing you have to do in order to be worthy of anyone's love. you're deserving just by existing as you are, you've existed enough and done enough to be entitled to a life of love. and you'll find it - maybe you already have! - i know you will.

Edwin Blackburn —  ❛ something you hold onto ❜

you hold onto love like it's anchoring you to earth, and maybe it is. but why is that? do you fear that one day all this love you've found will somehow disappear, or that one day someone will just decide you don't deserve it? what if i told you that all this love isn't finite, that no matter who you are and who you become, love will always exist for you in so many forms. it will find you regardless of how worthy you think you are of it, you don't need to hold onto it so tightly out of fear of it leaving. you don't deserve to be abandoned, i'm sorry if love ever taught you that you deserving of that. but real, sincere love won't abandon you. the people who love you? they really do really love you, they aren't lying. and you can continue to hold onto this love, just trust that you don't have to grip it so tightly.
