You don't really understand what it means to be loved by someone who’s tired until you’ve actually felt it.
It's not the kind of love that comes wrapped in energy or excitement. It's quieter. Softer. It's someone who's drained from life. Maybe from work, maybe from people, maybe from their own thoughts, but still chooses to show up for you.
It's being loved by someone who carries a kind of sadness they don't always talk about (or never even talk about it), but still tries to make you laugh. Someone who's fighting their own battles but still saves the gentle parts of themselves for you. Someone who has chaos living inside them, yet tidies up their heart just enough to make you feel safe.
When someone loves you while they're tired, that love hits different. It's not driven by mood or convenience. It's driven by choice. They love you, not because it's easy, but because you matter enough for them to try, even when it's hard.
And that's the kind of love that humbles you. Because it's not pretty, it's not always perfect, but it's real. It's the kind of love that survives the bad days, the heavy thoughts, and the quiet nights when words don't come easy.
So if you ever find yourself being loved by someone who's tired, don't take it lightly. That’s one of the purest forms of love you'll ever experience. Because it's love that exists even when it costs something to give it.
