Love is a verb.

Love is not a feeling; love is a verb. Love is not equalivant to liking one person more than you like other people.

To love is to act lovingly toward another person - to treat them with compassion. To make the daily choice to understand them as fully human without idolization or judgment. To be present for them and to take actions that make their day more enjoyable to the best of your ability.

But you can't fully love another person without loving yourself. Do for yourself all of the above, and more. When you fill your bucket with loving actions, your capacity to love others will overflow.
