The Quiet Kinds of Love
Not all love comes with fireworks.
Not all love comes with fireworks.
Some love slips into your life like warm sunlight through a curtain. Soft. Steady. Familiar before you even realize it’s there.
It’s in the way your best friend texts “Did you eat today?”
It’s in the way someone saves the last bite for you.
In the dog-eared book they lend you — the one that meant everything to them when they were 19.
It’s in the hand that lingers on your back a second longer when you say goodbye.
I think we’ve been trained to chase the big kind of love. The movie scenes. The dramatic airport reunions. The grand declarations.
But lately, I find myself drawn to the small loves. The slow burns. The people who show up without being asked. The ones who stay through the quiet seasons. Who love you not just when you're glowing — but when you're unraveling.
Love, real love, shows itself in a hundred small ways:
Bringing you water when you didn’t realize you were thirsty
Remembering how you like your coffee
Laughing at your bad jokes because they know you need to feel funny today
Sitting beside you in silence, no fixing, just presence
And what about self-love?
That’s a quiet kind of love too.
It’s canceling a plan when you're running on empty.
It’s talking to yourself with gentleness instead of judgment.
It’s choosing rest when you’re tired — not productivity.
It’s realizing your heart still matters even when no one’s clapping for it.
Love is big. Love is quiet. Love is everything in between.
Maybe the goal isn’t to find the loudest love — but the truest. The one that doesn’t need to prove itself, because it simply is. The kind that lives in the everyday. The ordinary. The real.
So today, here’s your reminder:
You are loved. In ways you’ve noticed, and in ways you haven’t. In ways that are loud, and in ways that are whispering through the cracks of your day.
Listen for it. And when you find it, don’t rush it.
Let it sit. Let it soften you.
With all the love I have,
Heartline
