Perception of Love.

7 billion people, 7 billion love stories. I think every of us have our own story to share, different ways of loving someone, different ways of being loved. And each of us has our own definition of love, our perception and knowledge about love, just as I have mine. And hereby I concluded a list on what I have learnt about love thus far, and many more things to learn down the road.

1. Love is not all about money, but a person who loves you will be willing to spend money for you. Not just between couples, but to family and friends as well, we spend money on whom we feel worth for. 

2. Love is about compromising to each other. You may not meet a person who fits into the perfect mould that you have hoped for, but both of you can slowly make adjustment and show acceptance. 

3. Love is not about taking sweet photos, put them online and wait for likes from others, it's about enjoying the companion of each other when you are with them and living in the moment. 

4. Love is about good communication not hurtful quarrels, let each other know what's on their mind, what went wrong, what could be done to alleviate the problem and prevent misunderstandings from happening again. 

5. Love is about willing to find and spend quality time with each other and personally, not using phone frequently when you are with each other is basic respect. 

6. Love is not about getting jealous all the time but having the mutual trust in each other and feeling proud of your significant other should there be other suitors because if means he/she is still very charming. 

7. Love is about feeling comfortable with the other person at all times without having to dress up, and never have the hassle of feeling nervous or awkward silence when with them. However it's important to never take the other person for granted and still importance to keep oneself well-maintained. 

8. Love is about understanding the other party's language of love and love them, instead of forcing your ways onto them and expecting them to be grateful for what you have done. But again the  way we show our love is often how we want to be loved in return. 

9. Love is not just about going on dates, movies, hangouts all over the place, but also reaching mutual consensus on important issues in life like marriage, money management and children. Should there be any conflicts, always leave room for negotiation, give and take. 

Most of the pointers above are things I have learnt from my most recent relationship with tab, if not from the previous ones. Considering that tab and me are about to welcome our second year, I believe I have learnt a few valuable lessons from our days thus far, there were definitely some rocky times between us, just like any other couple, I wouldn't lay down my words that we will ended up together for a lifetime for sure, but we will definitely grew to be a better lover for each other while we are together. This has seldom occur to me in the past, but recent years I figured that I must have not been the perfect partner for anyone neither, so I am truly thankful for all the tolerance and effort tab, or maybe both of us have put into the relationship and making it work till now. To more good and happy days ahead :') And thank you for loving me truthfully.
