26 Love Quotes By Instagram Poet Gareth Egan On Falling In Love And Having Your Heart Broken

Poets have explored the meaning of life through words, but few are as poetic as Gareth Egan's, Instapoetry, about the journey of love. There's no denying that love is a journey. When you start a relationship and fall in love, you're one person at the start and another person throughout the entire experience. The journey of love can mean different things.

What does love mean to you? Is it something that lasts forever or is it just a fleeting emotion? Is it something you do or is it something you feel?

People have and always will describe love differently, and only YOU can know what love means to you when you've loved and been in love.

But even still — no matter how you see love (or feel it), you can't deny that it evokes great emotions inside of you.

One thing I know for sure is that love is a journey. It's something that has ups and downs and makes you happy and frustrated all at once.

And whether your journey lasts a few months or years and years, it makes you feel like an entirely different person when it's all over (if it ends at all).

I've been in love before; I'm in love now, too. But of all the people I have been in love with (and there haven't been that many, yet), it's always been different. I feel like every new love has taken me on a new journey. And I have felt different emotions every single time.

Sure, I've felt love and affection in each journey, but I've also felt acceptance, passion, and risk — and not all in the same person.

Love provokes emotions. Honestly, I think that's the biggest thing love does. But not everyone can describe these emotions. That's why I love poetry, especially when it's about love and sex.

Because while you might not be able to explain how love makes you feel, a poet can for you; and it's always so much more special hearing it from someone who's eloquent enough to actually put words together like that.

And if there's anywhere to find these kinds of poets, it's Instagram.

I have stumbled across so many different kinds of poets on Instagram that I think I can honestly say that no two Instagram poets are alike — and certainly none are like Gareth Egan.

Not only does he write provoking poetry about love and the journey it takes you on, but he also includes drawings from artists that really bring the entire poem together.

Just scrolling through his feed, I feel like I'm on a new journey of love again. He's exciting and erotic and passionate; everything you want in love.

He writes about love in all of its forms; about finding love, losing it, and keeping it in your heart forever.

And even when it ends, love is always worth the risk. And if that in and of itself isn't romantic, I'm not sure what is.

Gareth Egan isn't afraid to tell it like it is, but he says it in a way that can only be described as poetic. He doesn't necessarily sugar-coat the words, but his poems feel like little stories that you can feel, not just words on paper (or a screen, if you will).

Explore his Instagram to really understand what I'm talking about. And when you want more, follow his Facebook page to stay on the lookout for his upcoming new book, The Chaos in Between.
