It's a bit sad that I had to go away for a day and think about this.
Last night I drew a Dev Card, having no inspiration to write. It says,:
What are your love languages for giving a receiving love?
These five love languages describe ways people give and receive love
- Words of affirmation
- Quality time
- Physical touch
- Acts of service
- Receiving gifts
Write some new love languages and list the ways you show and feel love.
I still feel like a fraud writing this, however, after mulling this over for the day, here's what I came up with.
If I want to show love, I will make you something. I'm always making things. I need to be creative to survive, but if I actually set out to make you something, you know that I care for you. I'm already making a blanket for Blarney for Christmas - I normally make her cats little blankets each year for their beds, replacing them annually, as by Christmas each year, they're pretty manky.
I love knitting or crocheting things. I've always wanted to have a partner who I could make jumpers for. I think that would be bloody marvelous.
I also love to cook for people, not that I do that often. A small act of service.
There's something in me that tries to visit people in hospital or send a text to see how they are doing if I know things are a bit amiss.
These are small things.
I'm told I'm kind to a fault. I don't think kindness can ever be a fault.
Oh, and I will recommend you films and books and music with a huge smile on my face.
As for receiving love.
Well:
- Cuddle me
- Feed me
- Let me play with your kitten or puppy (friends know how happy this makes me
- Talk to me
- Take me to an art gallery or museum or some sort of interesting installation.
- Watch a sunrise or sunset with me
- Ply me with beer (or gin)
- Or, if it's going round, give me a puff of your wacky backy - just a puff.
See, Pandora - that wasn't so hard...
Back to Blarney's blanket.
