We hit up @wndrlikewndr to ask: “What does love mean to you?” or “What’s the first thing that comes to mind when we say the word ‘love’”? What does love mean to you? #ForwardTimes #LoveNotes #ValentinesDay

So, we asked our online community a simple but loaded question: What does love mean to you? Their answers are as varied as love itself—some sentimental, all worth listening to. Last but not least, our friend K. Moutra in New York City. #ForwardTimes #Love #ValentinesDay

Love. Four little letters, infinite interpretations. But the truth? Love is bigger than romance. It’s the best friend who always answers your midnight calls. It’s the career you built from the ground up. It’s the quiet moments of self-acceptance that feel like coming home.

From self-love to community care, from passion projects to lifelong friendships—our online community shared what love means to them. Up next, @knotswiss shares their take. Who knows? You might just hear your own definition in their story. #ForwardTimes #LoveNotes #ValentinesDay

Our AP @sincerelylenora shared her unique love story with @jarrensmall on the cover of this week’s LOVE special edition. In her latest editorial, she shares how she redefined what love means on her own terms. forwardtimes.com/editorial/find… #ForwardTimes #ValentinesDay
