The Language of Love

I'm not the type of person who really likes those quizzes and surveys that tell you what type of person you are, or what you should be doing with your life, based on your favorite color and vacation spot. I may have a lot of things that I probably waste too much time doing, but reading Cosmo and filling out the couples personality and relationship quizzes is not one of them (there could be one other glaringly obvious reason for that one, but...). I don't have anything against people who do, I've just never felt I've gained anything valuable from one. But the other day I was with two of my sisters and they started talking about the "Five Love Languages" and which language they were, and so on. This really surprised me; it didn't seem like the sort of thing that either of them would really care about (not love, but a survey to tell them how they love...ok, I think you know what I mean) Then I kept thinking about the things they said. Which, of course, led to me taking this "assessment." I guess its like a big thing, like there are like books and people give presentations on it and so on. And it was pretty much just as cheesy and sappy as I thought it would be, but I'm actually glad I took it. Sometimes its good to learn in a more concrete way things that you probably already knew. And I learned that my love language (not just romantic love, but in general everyone I care about) is Quality Time. I like to do things, give people my time to show them I care, and I suppose that that is the way I perceive if people care about me.
I thought by the end of writing this that I would have figured out even more about myself and my thoughts on the subject, which happens a lot. But I can't really think of what more to say. Except that I guess, if you are reading this, and I want to spend time with you, then you are important to me. Congratulations!

I felt I should add a picture of something pertaining to love. Someday, I want this.  This  picture might not  mean a whole to other people, I don't know,  but I have created a great back-story for them in my mind in which "I" am a part of "them", and their life is awesome.
