So, today I am going to write about the Four types of love that I am aware of.
The first one is Physical Love which includes personal touch, closeness with your partner, and your presence in their life during the Good and the Bad times. The second one is Mental Love, where you understand each other more than anyone in this world and you have thoughts that provoke and resonate with similar actions. The third one is -and this is an important one- sharing a feeling of being seen, being connected, and being wanted by each other. The fourth and final one is, your chemistry between each other, the energy that you share, the vibes that connect you and make you feel special, and the meaningfulness of each other’s presence. To reiterate these things in a simple way;
1. Physical Love – Touch, Closeness & Presence.
2. Mental Love – Understanding & Thought Provoking.
3. Emotional Love – Feeling Seen, Connected & Wanted.
4. Spiritual Love – Vibes, Chemistry, Energy, and Meaningfulness.
I believe that one should go where this is fostered, grown, and appreciated but also dare leave where this is nowhere to be found because you deserve to be flooded with love, not searching for dried-up wells. Love shouldn’t just be found, you should also know how to provide the same. The traditional way to show love includes, presenting Flowers/Gifts, Long Hugs and Deep Kisses, and, Saying “I Love You…” every now and then. But, I believe that there are more obvious ways that are equally important like spending Quality Time, Acts of Service, sharing Surprise Notes, giving Genuine Compliments, dedicating your Undivided Attention, and providing Emotional Support.
We all fall in love at least once in our lifetime, but unfortunately, sometimes we even have to deal with breakups as well. It hits us really very hard and crushes our souls. The person who genuinely loved their partner will go through all the pain, the depression, and the darkest days of their lives all on their own, and once they start recovering, breathing normally, and start a normal life, the other person has already tried and failed another relationship or currently is trying to be in one. So, if you feel that you are the person who’s going through that painful phase, these lines will definitely help you relieve the pain, even if it is just the slightest bit.
“There’s nothing more complete than a Broken Heart. Brokenness is not only an unavoidable part of one’s life- It’s a crucial part of growing. Maturity, Wisdom, & Strength, all emerge from those cracks when we break, so Be the Love, you never received, & Love yourself as someone you once Loved because YOU ARE ENOUGH!“
The three-most simplest yet most beautiful things (Love, Lust, and Crush) have been complicated these days by all these fantasy books, TV shows, and social media. Let me explain this sequence in reverse so that you can have a better understanding of each of them. A crush is nothing but when you see a person, you feel attracted to them as if a magnet or an invisible force is pushing you towards that person. You might not even know that person’s name or you might have never talked with that person, but you can still have a crush on them. When they enter the room, it feels as if the entire room has brightened up and you only see them and everyone else is just a blur. A typical Crush only lasts for three to four months, so if someone doesn’t feel the same about you after this time period, it was just a crush that ended and it makes no sense to continue in fumes. Lust is something that we feel for a person when we are sexually attracted to them. Not every time, but sometimes when we see them or when we are around them in close proximity, we get aroused and have sexual fantasies. That’s normal because that’s absolutely natural. A Lust is something that might last up to 6 months to a year. And finally, true Love is when both people have multiple crushes and multiple lusts for each other and this cycle keeps on repeating forever and ever, thus, only love out of all three could be everlasting.
As the adage goes, “The more, the merrier.”
There is nothing in this world called too much love, the more you love someone, the more you will find ways to impress them, even if they are already your boy/girlfriend or your husband/wife. Yes, definitely, the attraction and the connection are something that goes up and down, but what always remains constant is the utter respect that you have for each other. So before you are truly committed to a relationship, always check whether your partner is your best friend first or not. If that’s not the case, you should wait for them to be one.
