While Valentines Day appears to celebrate the Romantic type of love I believe there are other forms of love that are just as important. Here are some of the positive and negative aspects of just 3 types. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THE LIST. May you have a happy Valentines Day whichever love you celebrate.
(1) ROMANTIC LOVE- You are drawn together like by a magnetic force but can be pulled apart by a bodily function
POSITIVE- The immediate emotionally & physical attachment NEGATIVE- People never turn out to be exactly like the fairy tales and when you continue to build up a balloon it will explode
(2) LONG TERM LOVE- It’s not perfect but it’s committed.
POSITIVE- You can be yourself from the start. Lower expectation lead you away from disappointment and can lead to wonderful surprises.
NEGATIVE-Feelings of “I could have done better” might linger.
(3) FAMILY & TRUE FRIEND LOVE- Might not appear to be the most traditional love to celebrate but who really has your back.
POSITIVE- They can truly be counted on during difficult times.
NEGATIVE-Many times they will bluntly tell you the truth.
