I was just thinking about the difference.

Between being “in love” and being… connected.

Being in love is loud. It’s butterflies and fireworks and you can’t eat, can’t sleep kind of stuff. It’s amazing. We all know that feeling.

But connection… that’s quiet. It’s the thing that’s left after the fireworks have faded. It’s the foundation. Not gonna lie, it's the thing that actually lasts. And it's so much deeper.

It’s not in the big gestures. It’s in the spaces between the words.
