The Difference Between a Feeling and a Foundation

Why "liking" is a moment, but "loving" is a choice

“Liking" is the initial imagination; "loving" is the accumulation of time spent together.

"Liking" is simply about happiness; "loving" is being willing to take responsibility for that happiness.

Someone who just likes you might leave suddenly because they no longer feel it.

Someone who loves you will cherish every accumulated moment and work through the hard times with you.

Someone who just likes you might leave when things get heavy.

Someone who loves you will grow and become stronger alongside you.

Let fleeting "liking" fade naturally.

Let the "love" that time has proven remain.

He just likes you, but he doesn't truly love you.

How many people's "love" is actually just "liking"?

How many people who say they "like" you are actually unable to give you "love"?

Thank you for reading!
