The Five Love Languages

This book will help you learn to love someone in a way they truely feel loved - not the way you want to love them. It seems better when both parties involved are willing to try it.


This book is fantastic yet practical. I would recommend it to anyone. It helps you find out what your love language is, as well as your mate's, friends' or whosoever's and helps you learn how to communitcate love in a way that the other person will understand. Everyone understands love differently, and everyone communitcates love differently. If you aren't communitcating love in a way that someone can understand, that person probably doesn't feel loved - or at least, as loved as he/she should or wants to feel. Dr. Chapman goes through and explains all five languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. He not only explains the language itself, but also the different dialects of the language. It's helpful and interesting. It's aimed at married couples, but you can take the information learned and apply it to friends and other family members as well. I'm looking forward to greab a copy of the teenager version though.

Risk and reward..

There are tons of things that's bothering me right now..

Sometimes, I wish of having super powers, like the power to read other people's mind, so that i don't have to spend all night long thinking what's on your mind, decipher those mind-boggling statements, cause sometimes reading between the lines is not my type, all I need is just a little of assurance or whatever it is. But I guess, Nobody can read anyone else's mind. And all we can do is always presume what they think and feel.
I should have been careful,I should have built protective walls between my emotion, because loving someone can give us the greatest joy we can ever know and it can hurt more than we can believe at the same time, that's the reward and that's the risk.
I don't want to be melodramatic here, but sometimes I just can't help it..but I still have that hope to which I hold on to..
hope that is fadeless under all circumstances..

Missing piece..


Isn't it funny that it's when we're surrounded by people, around us on all sides, that we sometimes feel the loneliest? I've been finding that lately - that when I'm alone in my room is when I feel more content and comfortable, but when there are lots of people around, loneliness illuminates me. Does anyone else get that?
Its like missing a very important piece in a puzzle,.. and all it needs is someone you love to mend it back, someone to fill it, and you know that someone is just out there, somewhere..yet distance and time are holding it back from you..
All in all ... you can do is to wait, all alone in the dark, in the light, in the rain, in the sunshine.. and yes, I'm willing to wait, after all,

TRUE LOVE WAITS..
