Love

Hello, I'm the warm, happy feeling you get deep inside. My name is Love, and my whole job is to help you feel connected to the people and pets that matter most to you. I am the reason you feel a deep sense of care for others. Think about the last time you wanted to give your mom a big hug for no reason at all—that was me. Or when you decided to share your favorite toy with your best friend, even though it was hard to let it go for a little while. I am that powerful feeling that makes you want to be close and kind.

I am there in the morning when your dad makes you breakfast just the way you like it, remembering every little detail because he cares about you. On the third day of school, when you might still be feeling a little nervous, I can show up in a note a friend passes to you in class. I am also the happy, excited wiggle of your dog's tail the second you walk through the door after being away. Sometimes, you might feel me when you miss your grandparents who live far away. That feeling is just me, reminding you how much you care about them and how strong your connection is.

I am a feeling that gets bigger and stronger the more you share me. I grow every time you listen carefully to a friend who is feeling sad, showing them that you are there for them. I get stronger on a Tuesday night when you take the time to help your brother with his homework, even when you would rather be playing. I also grow when you say something kind to someone who looks like they are having a tough day. The most wonderful thing about me is that sharing me doesn't make you have less. It creates more of me for everyone to feel, and it feels amazing to share that warmth.

Even when you feel upset or have an argument with someone you care about, I don't disappear. I might feel quiet for a little while, but I am always there, waiting patiently for things to get better. I continue to help people every single day by building strong families and creating friendships that can last a lifetime. My purpose is to make the world a kinder place for everyone. I am a powerful feeling that helps you feel safe, understood, and truly happy. Remember that showing kindness helps me grow everywhere.
