No seriously, what does love mean to you? The love of your child, the love of your partner(s), monogamy, polyamory, (non) consensual non-monogamy, infatuation, limerence, heartbreak. The love of one's hobby, the love for an object, the love of an idea, et cetera. Whatever it is that comes to mind goes.

To us, love is 'just' caring (deeply) about others and respecting them, their autonomy, boundaries and consent. Many tell us that there are many different types of love, we don't really experience that though.
