Loving someone is more than just having a strong feeling for that person, it has to do with making a decision to stand up for that person, to be there and to be committed to that person for life.
I see Love as a commitment because even when you genuinely love someone, you might meet someone else along the line who is so much better than the person you claim to Love. This is where commitment comes in.
our Love for people should not be based on their performance, what they can do, give or offer,If this is the case, then its no longer Love (My opinion anyways). Of course there are things that attracts people to each other, maybe their looks, personality,character and lots more but our Love should not be based on these things only. Loving a person is beyond all of these.
Sometimes Loving someone means you have to put his or needs before yours. Love is a sacrifice and we can't don't know how to make sacrifices. To Sacrifice means to do something even when it is not convenient and I am forever willing to sacrifice my money, time, comfort for the people I love.
I am very patient with people, especially when love is involved, I give them enough to give to change when I talk to them about the things they do wrong.someone means you ha patient with them. I accept all my loved ones for who they are and I will never force my opinion on them.
I learnt a long time ago that we cannot love without giving out something and one of the ways i show Love is by giving. I enjoy giving gifts to people just to let them know how much i love them.
I would go an extra mile to tell my loved one's how much I love them and how much they mean to me.
Words of Affirmation is one of the many ways I show love to people.
I also give moral support by being there for them when they need me and encouraging them in times of distress.
If somebody truly loves me, he will give me the liberty to shine, to chase after my dreams and do the things I want to to do. He/she will not restrain me from being all that God has called me to be as a result of jealousy or insecurity and I will not hesitate to cut myself off from anyone who tries to hinder or stop me from reaching my goals. Love is not insecure.
Lastly,I will never accept any form of abuse all in the name of Love, whether physically, emotionally, sexually or verbally.
I really enjoyed writing this, indeed love is beautiful and can be intoxicating at times but not everything we see out there is Love,
we must watch out for red flags and we must also learn to say no.
Finally, look before you leap.
Until next time
Much ❤Love❤
