what does love mean to her?

as long as you know how much
I care about you, I don't have a
care in the world….

ardennes is a kal who is all for
close, platonic love. although she
has had romantic relationships
that she loves and cherishes, the
relationships that she finds most
important is those that are with
her friends and family, particularly
with those that don’t believe they
deserve love. she believes that
everybody deserves love, whether
it be romantic or completely
friendly. love is her way of
showing how much she cares about
those around her. love means
everything to her, and the thought
that nobody loves her or that her
friends don't know that she loves
them always deeply scares her. she
often worries that she comes off as
insincere, but her friends seem to
find it comforting...

name: daphne. the greek mythological nymph daphne was rescued from the unwanted attentions of the god apollo by being turned into a laurel bush. hence, the name would only suit a sapphic girl
gender: female
what does love mean to her: love. ah, yes, love.
the 3 am nose to nose touching, staring into each other's eyes and running your fingers down her arms. the way her freckles remind you of constellations and her eyes are the north star so you're never quite lost; she's always guiding you home. love is the way her hair cascades down her back and covers her shoulder blades while you stand behind her, looking at the two of you in the mirror and brushing her hair softly. it's dancing around the kitchen in your underwear, laughing and throwing flour at each other and remembering that she loves you for your child-like soul, and that, my friend, is truly a safe place. love is knowing that even if you do argue, she understands it's part of the package, and that it will always resolve itself; by the time you're snuggled up on the couch, she'll have forgotten the bickering and she'll be lost in your eyes. it's knowing that she cares enough to make you stay, even on her bad days, and knowing that she wants to share her heart with you on her good days. its crawling through the window at midnight, goofing off at supermarkets, playing with snow in the winter, and looking over at the girl you love in the passenger seat. what is love? love is her.

what does love mean to them?
"Love is what makes the world go round." Love is something irreplaceable and rather frustrating at times. At first it starts out all good. A nice welcoming atmosphere that fills you with joy but also makes your palms sweat as the relationship has only just begun and it's awkward. Then you , be it a thing or a another individual , have a rough patch. An many may like to deny them having one but not everything's milk and cookies. Some sour times are smaller then others , when each others secrets and flaws come out. When everything seems like it's over and will burst into flames. The part in your relationship in which you will either continue on or fall through. Then there is the solace, the part of love that means the most to Dyln. The comfort in knowing that you have made it through a hard time and there is nothing left to hide. Acceptance of the fact that not everybody is perfect and there will be things about the other you can't stand. Although the hard times are done and if you couldn't handle it you would have left then. Falling in Love may only take a second or a few years, but being in love is a drawn out process. Between two entities who are open and willing to form a eternal bond be it figurative or literal. Dyln loves women and I don't mean because of her sexuality. I mean she has a true passion for lifting other women up out of there hard times. She's had her rough patch wondering why she had to go through such trivial female things. She also had her time of solace and acceptance and now strives for other's of the same sex to find there way. Even if she may not have found her own personal women to love she has found a community to care for, a community of strong individuals to love. "Until death do us part". ♡

Female. She/her.

what does love mean to her?

To Delthea, love cannot be described in a single word or even a straightforward definition. She is a romanticist at heart and her views are naturally optimistic. Delthea believes the phenomenon of 'falling in love' will be repeated multiple times in a person's life and is a beautiful concept which, to her, represents an honorable sense of self-awareness and care for those around her. The feeling of love depends on perspective, and she decides to present this in poetry:

Yet
love can also be for oneself.

A sense of magnificence
dignity
tenderness
Enveloped in one form.

An admiration for accomplishments
for both large and small.

A gift of encouragement.
To spread wings against all odds
and to put faith in the unimaginable.

A pardon.
A forgiveness.
A gentle touch to lift the wrongdoings
and brush away the debris
in order to bloom
into a beautiful budding rose."

"Love is a plethora of feelings.
A mixture of mirth and merriment
for those held close

An indescribable enigmatic bravado
to show off your colorful feathers
and
take flight
into the euphoric air.

Love can be romantic.
Two rose buds blooming under bright, beautiful sunshine
sharing warmth and wonder.
An admiration for one another

A pair of doves,
dancing until dawn
and
crooning sweet dulcet sounds

A priceless gem
polished and precious,
catching the eyes of many
with its glint and gleam.

[Extra] Personality and why she's like this:
A romanticist at heart.
She sees the brighter side and is optimistic no matter what. This may be a bit obnoxious to many unfortunately. Despite negativity battling against her bubbly nature, Delthea is rarely seen without a smile.

Delthea enjoys poetry and will even speak poetically towards others. You could give her a question about her favorite color and she'll easily respond with: "A deep blue sea- darker than the shade of viridian, but lighter than midnight." Oddly enough, she does this instinctively and doesn't recognize it. Most of her friends will remind her of this and embarrassment usually follows suit.

Delthea is only open to those she is close to. She is shy and quiet among strangers. She may easily be startled or reserved near people she doesn't know quite well, but is much more outgoing and energetic around close friends and family.

One possible reason for her optimism is because she was a sickly child. Her energy remained low and her activity stagnant due to such circumstances. All that brought negative thoughts to her little mind. However, as she grew, Delthea developed a sense of determination and self-love. She takes what she has and runs with it.

what does love mean to them? love can be described as many things; a puzzle, a picnic, a war, a dream. love has always been told as a feeling, as a noun, but something we are yet to hold. love has no definition, as all can be misleading, and if you say you love something, you may be lying. love is a circle, as is karma, setting you downhill, to go back up. it's mixed feelings, but that doesn't mean it's bad. love is an imperfection, giving you vulnerability, but it doesn't matter, because she'll protect you. love is the conscious of happiness, insecurity, and trust, as well as tolerance. love can be that you snuggle till daylight, or that you enjoy running though a field with her. love is something different to everyone, and we should accept it. at the same time, it can be a bed of needles or an ocean of joy. it's knowing in the back of your mind it could take a turn to torture, but you stay because you love her. it's staying up writing her letters, and then reading hers on repeat for hours, and then waiting again. it's a battle, that nobody will win, but it's good if you look through all the rubble and dust. it's a misfortune we all strive for, because we all know it's such a joyful ride, even when it cages us, and it's a war with everyone, until it's over, and you continue looking. love, it's such a tempting invitation, even with the warning signs, you still jump into her arms. it's a poison, a drug, that'll build us up, and then slowly break us down until you're broken. it's still there, and you want to keep looking, and you finally find her, and you're in tears, and the cycle repeats. love is knowing you want to spend your life with her, you can kiss her, you can talk to her, and she can do the same. love is support, a circle of founding and trust, sending you through a reality of tears and smiles, but is always there. love is waiting for her in the dark, on the faint hope she'll come, and she does, and everything is bright again, and you can breathe, and she's there. she's there for you, and that's love.

one extra: hunter sat on her familys fence, just staring into the clouds. it was a chilly night, and she was fantasizing about her. her, the girl of her dreams. she knew she was out there somewhere. she could kiss her, she could hold her. she wanted somebody to live for, and she has this idea in her head of the perfect girl, and she knew she was just waiting somewhere. she had to meet her one day. some day. some day she would meet her, and she would feel as though she was weightless, as if she was in a dream. that's all she wanted.

What does love mean to them?

"To me, love is about knowing who you are with someone, and knowing who you are once you are without them. If you don't love and know yourself outside of a relationship, then you can't properly do so within a relationship. Accepting that you are you whether you or with someone or not is a vital part of being in a healthy relationship, but so is knowing that that person makes you want to be better.

Love is not obsession and posessiveness, it is letting yourself be vulnerable, knowing full well that the other person has the ability to take advantage of you or hurt your heart, but trusting that they won't because you love them enough to take a risk.

Love isn't material items or gifts, it is the conveying of your strong emotional desire to be in the company of the ones you love the most. Gifts only show love in the way that they show that the one who gives it is thinking of the one who recieves it. Actions are more important. If someone repeatedly treats you badly, and then uses gifts or words of devotion as a way to make up for their behavior, that is not love.

Love is not holding onto something that used to be good but no longer is. It is accepting that people grow apart, and that sometimes relationships do not need to be full of fights or aggression in order to be considered unhealthy. Love is not settling for fear that there isn't something or someone better.

Love is accepting someone for their flaws, but not making excuses for the inexcusable.

Love is listening to your loved ones, and actually hearing what they say.

Love is compromise and often sacrifice.

Love is about having a connection with someone on not just a physical level, but an emotional one as well.

Love is being able to admit you're wrong, sometimes even when you're right, for the sake of forgiveness on both parts.

Love is loyalty and devotion. Temptation is out there, and love is when you choose to refuse said temptation because you know that the person you're with is the only one for you."

One extra:
The following is a letter that Isabeau once wrote to her crush when they were in high school:

Dearest Dahlia,

You are the ever-blooming flower that inspires others to grow from their roots, to be better than they once were. You are a wild horse, beautiful and untamable, free and independant of instruction. I aspire to be as spontaneous and care-free as you.

You are the reason I still desire to come to this place, to this school in which no one seems to stand out unless by being cruel; casting judgement upon those with little courage and frail hearts. They are cowards, and you, always the brave soul, are a hero; a champion of justice and mender of lost souls.

You are the sunrise, the rose bud, and a baby's first smile. You are new beginnings, and I wish nothing more than to start my own new beginning in your arms. Together.

Forever yours,
Isabeau

Isabeau, perhaps naively, was rather trusting of Dahlia. Dahlia found the letter shortly after Isabeau slid it into her locker. It was decorated with pressed rose petals and white lace ribbons. Dahlia blushed when she found it, flattered to find a letter among her school things. However, Dahlia wasn't alone. She was with a boy and two other girls. Dahlia attempted to hide the letter from the others, but the boy, jealous, took it from her. She struggled to grab it back, but to no avail. He read the letter aloud and Dahlia's smile faded. The girls giggled and poked fun and the boy just laughed like he wasn't threatened by the letter anymore. When asked about it, Dahlia lied and said she'd never spoken to Bo and then threw the letter away.

They bullied Bo for it, and she lost faith in people for a very long time. But it taught her to be careful who you trust. She didn't fully trust anyone until a woman, now her loving mate, came along. True love is a winding journey.

username: Nero The Corgi King
name: Sophia
gender: Female
what does love mean to them? To Sophia love is when you feel like you cannot live without someone, when all you can think about is them and how they make your heart skip a beat, how every time you hear their voice or see them smile you can't help but smile as well or you start feeling like your heart is going to explode every time you are near them. She believes that love is much more than just a feeling, she knows she loves someone when she feels like she physically cannot be without them. She thinks love is a wonderful thing and should be cherished and taken seriously, and to truly love someone you have to trust them with your life and if you take them for granted it isn't love. She believes that love isn't just something you can throw around and when you say "I love you", you have to mean it.
one extra: Sophia is shy and caring and a little bit wild and loud once she is used to being around you. She almost never raises her voice and often speaks in a soft shy tone, even when she is mad she cannot bring herself to raise her voice at anyone.
