DAY 25: Love is...

Love is...never love unless it is given in the purest way possible. Without an alterior motive, expecting nothing in return, but to just show/remind how much you care about someone.

DAY 23: Love is...

Sam: You can hear this. Close your eyes.

Annie: What?

Sam: I just want you to listen to me. Humor me, please?

::Annie begrudgingly closes eyes::

Sam: It’s not easy to be adored. You in particular, you have a tougher time with it than most, I get that. But I want you to give it a try. Think of it as an experiment. I promise, I will be very wonderful at adoring you, Annie. It’s an area where I think I got a great deal of talent. ::chuckles:: You’re worth the adoration, Annie. You’re worth it! And the fact that you don’t believe it, has nothing to do with whether it’s true or not. It is true for me. And that is all that matters…


(Later...Annie calls her best friend, also named Sam...)

Annie: “So here’s what I have to say to you before the damn beep cuts me off. Sadness be gone, let’s be people who deserve to be loved. Who are worthy. Cause we are worthy, we really are! You’ve been telling me that for years and now I get to spit it back at you. You’re a good man, Sam Wexler, go get yourself loved. That’s all I got.”
