10 Things I Learned About Love From Watching Animals on the Farm
Have you ever noticed how animals on a farm are usually methodical and overall pretty happy? Yeah, me too...
I didn’t learn love from greeting cards or romantic comedies. I learned it standing in mud, holding a gate, watching animals that had zero interest in my feelings and absolutely no problem telling the truth.
Farm animals don’t read self-help books. They live it. Loudly. Honestly. Repeatedly.
Join Dave for some rural observations like:
- Love Shows Up on Schedule
- Affection Is Earned, Not Negotiated
- Boundaries Are Not Cruel
- Love Can Be Loud Without Being Violent
- You Can Care Deeply Without Hovering
- Loyalty Doesn’t Require Constant Validation
- Forgiveness Is Immediate or It Never Happens
- Everyone Has a Job
- Care Is Practical Before It’s Emotional
- Sometimes Love Means Letting Go
Animals taught me this: Love is not poetic, Love is procedural. Love is physical, repetitive, inconvenient, and deeply grounding.
If your definition of love wouldn’t survive a winter on a farm, it probably won’t survive real life either.
Love doesn’t need polish. It needs grit.
And sometimes the best relationship advice comes from something chewing grass
and minding its own business.
Giddyup!!!
