Spontaneity

A little something I realized today is that love often consists of spontaneous acts of care. While a lot about loving a person has to do with carving out times for them to meet up for dinner or what not, more often then not, love is about being able to drop everything at the moment to be available for people. It's pushing your current agenda aside to make room for your friend right then and there - whether it be giving advice, helping them with some homework, or listening to how her day went. It's realizing they got sick, so deciding to finish your work later and pulling up your sleeves to make some soup or porridge and bringing it over.

That's why love is so hard. But when you're on the receiving end, it's so touching and heart-warming. So I think I really want to be able to do this better, with less hesitance and more willingness. Knowing that, as that GLive line goes, I want to invest in things that last. And only people last forever.
