HEY, I’M ALWAYS IN LOVE!

There are all kinds of love in this world, but never the same love twice. – F. Scott Fitzgerald

Usually, love is associated by most people to a relationship between a man and a woman. And if one doesn’t have a partner in life, the society stresses the need for it just for that person to become happy. We think that love only comes from romantic relationships but it’s not. You have so many sources and it’s all for free.

Figure out the kind of love that you don’t notice and you need to develop more.

STORGE-empathy bond is about the natural love that strengthens with familiarity. This is the kind of love that we share with our parents and our siblings. Most of the time, this love is the hardest to express verbally. We think that since it’s a family, it’s obvious that you love one another. But it’s not as simple as that. For you to show your love, you need to say it, make them feel it and continue to nurture it.

PHILIA-friend bond obviously talks about the love between friends. Even without the same genes, friends treat each other like siblings. But this love is the least natural and instinctive for it demands the same interests, values and activities. There’s nothing greater than finding and loving true friends who bring you closer to a better you. After all, whenever we feel upset, friends are the first people we go to.

EROS-erotic bond revolves between a man and a woman. This kind of love is well-known that sometimes people think that this is the only kind of love that we should prioritize. We should keep in mind that for us to be happy in a relationship, we have to be happy by ourselves first. A man or a woman can never complete you. You have to be completely happy first because a partner is supposed to be just an additional gift to your already blissful life. Aside from the need and pleasure that it brings, this love should ideally lead you to Agape.

AGAPE-unconditional love is the relationship that we have with our Lord. This love goes on no matter what happens. There will be times that we go astray but still His love remains grounded and intense for us. Above all else, this love is the most important for from this, we can establish and strengthen the other kinds of love. The God of Love, our One Great Love and the Source of Unconditional Love is always there. He loved, loves and will love us come what may.

Oh, there are so many kinds of love in the world but never the same love twice. These kinds of love change either to prepare us or to prosper us. While you love yourself, continue loving others as you intensely hunger for the love of God.
