What Is Love? An Insightful List of Answers (According to Me).

Even though I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day (I consider it nothing more than a marketing scam), I am a fan of love itself! 💗

And it’s also hard not to fall into the flow of content that gets shared on the internet around 14^th of February. And above all, love is love and humor is humor, and humor is always welcome in the world of love, so I composed a little list of answers to the question “What is love?”, flavored with a pinch of humor.

So…

Love is…

…gazing into each other’s eyes. A staring war is always a good way to decide who’s going to clean the apartment next.

…supporting your partner’s singing in a karaoke bar. Karaoke bars are for the “dying cats”, anyway.

…telling your partner they have spinach stuck between their teeth. After you’ve made sure they’ve met as many people as possible.

…laughing when your partner accidentally falls down. Especially if they get a bruised butt.

…continuously pranking each other until things get out of hand. One night in jail is not that bad, right?

…caressing your partner’s cheeks. And then squeezing them like a stress ball.

…cooking for your partner. That’s also how you befriend firefighters.

…always being by your partner’s side, no matter what. Unless they get gassy from eating inappropriate food. Then they’re on their own.

…letting your partner sleep in. Like this, you can do the things they don’t approve of in peace.

…scrubbing each other’s backs in the shower. And then each other’s fronts. #IfYouKnowWhatIMean

…holding hands while walking down the street. A perfect way to stop each other from buying even more junk.

…taking care of your partner when they are sick. Like going to a friend’s apartment for a few days, so they can have all the space and peace they need.

…constantly doing things you don’t like just because your partner likes them. #ThatsHowPsychopathsAreBorn

…watching your partner sleep in awe. No matter how much saliva is dripping down their pillow.

…forgiving your partner’s mistakes. Unless they eat the food you dream of eating after you get home from work. That is simply unforgivable!

…raising a new life together. The question is who got the foot fungus first?

…letting your partner sleep on your shoulder. No matter how much saliva is dripping down on you.

…enjoying a glass of wine together. You know what? Better make that a bottle.

…dancing around your apartment together. Just be sure you make enough money to replace all the broken things.

…offering to do the dishes. Love² is actually doing the dishes.

…giving your partner a massage when they have back pain. #GettingOldIsNotFun

…carrying your partner over a big puddle. The question is who’s wearing the cheaper shoes?

…sharing everything. Except the food that is strictly for you, as already stated!

…annoying your partner until they start chasing you with a knife. That’s why people say exercising prolongs your life – you definitely have to be the faster one.

…not killing your partner with a knife after they’ve annoyed you to a maddening degree. Now, where can I find that inner peace everyone is talking about?

…giving your partner the bigger piece of cake. And then teasing them for being the fatter one. (Like this you’ll definitely be the faster one!)

…scratching your partner’s nose when their hands are busy. Oh, sorry, I meant tickling it even more. (Just make sure you’re still the faster one, especially if there are any knives nearby!)

…not suffocating your partner with a pillow when they snore like sawmill all night long. Seriously, where do they sell inner peace? How do I get one?

…also not killing your partner when they loudly slurp their soup. Must.Find.That.Inner.Peace.

…everything else that you do or don’t do in the name of your partner. Just don’t forget to show your appreciation, like NOT EATING THEIR FOOD!

Excuse me for shouting on that last one. Thank you! 😇

Till the next time!
