How would you describe what love feels like to you?Originally asked
The Guardian, to a different person each week, The Q&A
The Guardian's weekly The Q&A repeatedly uses this exact standing prompt.
You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.
Safety, and being able to be completely yourself.

It’s like all your emotions are apples and they get crushed all at once into cider.
A Pot Noodle on a cold day.
Peaceful and joyful.
Like something or someone is part of your DNA, the fabric of who you are.
To be led by love and not judgment.
I didn’t enjoy a bar job and glass collecting – people could be really rude.
The first time I remember being truly happy was with my children on Ainsdale beach, not far from Southport. I spent £15 on butties, and we spent the whole day by the sea.
The really terrible things that are happening in the Middle East made me cry for two days after 7 October. All those poor children on both sides.
Without naming names, some people I’ve put a lot of faith and trust and love into.
I changed my mind on airing my views. Sometimes silence is better.
