Balance

It feels really good to fall in love. One powerful and sometimes dangerous aspect about love is that it can be nearly addictive. And there are so many processes that run through all of our senses to make us want to fall in love and stay in love. The sights, sounds, smells, and touch of our loved one keeps us mutually around each others finger. However, we must always remember that we cannot completely lose ourselves in the process. When we fall in love, we falling in love with an individual who has a history, a culture, a family, hopefully a career, goals, dreams, fears, desires, and their own perspectives about love. As we grow together in relationships the two begin to merge. But when we merge to the point that one no longer recognizes the individual that we once fell in love with, sometimes problems creep in. As a result, a balance with love in necessary. On one side is the closeness and blending of lives, and on the other is maintenance of individuality. So What is Love All About : Balance!

About Friendship: True Friends

< style="text-align: justify;">
About Friendship
True friendship is a powerful institution; powerful enough that some friendships are deeper than biological relationships. However, ask anyone with true wisdom and they will tell you that true friendship is hard to come by. Of course we go through life from one school to the next, one community to the next, one sport to the next, one instrument to the next, one religious institution to the next, and along the way we meet wonderful people. However, most of those people will be mere acquaintances. Others will become friends of ours. And a child-sized handful will become true friends. 

True friends stick by your side. They show you how to love more than just yourself. Sometimes they tell you everything you want to hear, and other times none of the same. They show up to your parties and gatherings. A true friend consoles and lifts you up, helps to highlight your strengths and makes you feel okay about your weaknesses. A true friend is with you when you are rich or when you are broke. It’s probably the next closest institution to having a spouse. That’s the one thing about friendship; it can be just as rare as true love!

Whatever your situation may be, it is my hope that you have at least one true friend. And if you do, COMMENT and give them a shout out! Let them know that A Little Love Goes a Long Way with True Friendship!

About Love : How to Show Love When You Have No Money

About Love : How to Show Love

Times are hard and most people are strapped for cash. However, it doesn’t mean that we cannot give expressions of love with little to no cash. Sometimes an expression of love can take the form of a note that you leave on the dresser for a significant other. Sometimes it could be a foot massage or back rub. Or maybe you do the dishes tonight instead. Although love feels so grand on an expensive date, at a restaurant with a name that you cannot pronounce, with food that you dislike, with pricing that you could not afford even when times were better, simple love can be just as grand. And often, that massage or doing the dishes when it isn’t your night builds more intimacy and connection between couples than being “fancy.”

What is Love All About? Chasing the Feeling of Love

What is love all about

I am not sure if there is any one true answer to this question. However, there are some pretty good descriptors that help us to understand. So what is love all about? Well, love is all about a feeling that is triggered when we exhibit specific behaviors. This feeling so grand that it is addictive to the point that we want to exhibit these specific behaviors over and over again. The thing about love is that as humans, we just can’t get enough of it! And the feeling that we get can be triggered relatively easily. What love is all about is showing these behaviors to people we care about in life.
Love is innate. Although we learn a range of behaviors to express love over time, no one has to show an infant how to love. It just kinda happens. Adults, on the other hand, sometimes do need encouragement in how to show love. Thus, blogs such as this. All in all, love is a series of expression that can be provided and received in a multitude of ways, big and small, for short periods or through an entire lifetime. It can range from a pat on the back, to the proverbial dozen of red roses. It can be a note of appreciation, or a dissertation highlighting a person’s entire splendor.
Regardless of what it may look like, we constantly chase after the feeling of being love and giving love. And so far, it continues to make the world go around.

About Love: How to Love When You Are Afraid To Love?

Love


We can spend our entire lives learning about love and how to love one another. But learning what love is and how to love isn't always easy. One of the many things that is difficult to grasp in life about love is How to Love When You Are Afraid to Love. It may seem silly that a person might be afraid to give and receive love to and from others, but I am of the opinion that it happens much more than we realize. The reasons are many, but often we have a difficult time giving and receiving love because of a fear that the love we give may not be enough, or we that we may not be able to appropriately handle the love we are given. Fear is often hard to overcome. I'm sure that you have an adult acquaintance or two that have a fear of clowns because of some experience as a child, and in all this time that have been unable to shake this fear. Love is so grand that fear of it can be just as long lasting. As a result, understanding How to Love When You Are Afraid to Love is not easy to do. Despite our natural tendency to want to seek and provide love, to know more about love and what is love, some people go through life never being able to shake this fear.

One thing that is important to realize is that despite fear of loving, the love that you provide those around you can be a gift. And the love that those around you provide you is a gift. Our daily interactions allow us to recycle this gift. What love is, in part, is a social emotional present that is exchanged by small and tremendous gestures and behaviors towards each other on a nearly minute by minute basis. And I don't know about you, but I like receiving gifts. And in the same, I like the joy that the gifts that I give provide those I show love to on a minute by minute basis. You let go of our fear by facing the clown head on. Don't let the clown hinder you from what love is all about. Instead, try with just one person to give the gift of love today. And bask in the feeling when the love is returned. And you will find something wonderful about love; it can make your fear about it go away because love is just that powerful.
