They say that love begins at first sight. Sometimes, with a simple "hello."
And more often than not... out of awkwardness.
With an incorrectly placed smiley face.
From a message that you reread three times before sending.
With a thought: "What if they think I'm weird or ugly?" 💖

Love rarely begins beautifully, like in the movies.
It begins with a trembling finger on the keyboard,
with a desire to answer a little faster than you would like to show,
and with a sudden interest in someone else's day:
"What did you have for dinner?" a question that for some reason suddenly becomes important.

Sometimes love begins with a joke.
Sometimes it starts with a long silence that you want to break.
Sometimes it starts with the feeling, "I'm warm here," even if you've never seen each other before.🤗

And love can also begin with the phrase "I can't write beautifully"
and suddenly this particular message turns out to be the real thing.
Starting with a little "good night" that you look forward to more than morning coffee.
From the desire to tell a stupid story and from the joy that it was understood.

Love probably doesn't start perfectly.
But for real 💛
