Greetings my lovely ladies in the ladies of Hive community. It's the season of love and a few days to valentines day when we share the love with our loved ones and friends. I know alot of goodies would be shared amongst us.
Having a deep affection for another person is love. The way you love and care for yourself you show more of the same love and affection to another person is love.
How do you know when you are in love?
Love is a beautiful feeling that brings natural happiness whenever the person is around you. Many years ago when I was still single I had a relationship that was love at first sight and the fact that I am always happy whenever he is around me or he tells me he is coming to see me made me believe I was in love.

Concern for your partner: Love is truly a beautiful feeling and your concern towards your partner comes naturally. you want to make sure he or she is ok. My best friend took a big risk just for the love of her life.
He was sick I didn't have to pay his hospital bills so she told her mother who is a nurse to treat the young man for free and he would pay whenever he has the money. She agrees to treat him because she sees the young man in the area as a good boy who greets her all the time but she never knew he was her daughter's lover. After the treatment was given to him, he went home that night and my friend sneaked out of the house very late at night to her boyfriend's house just to make sure he is ok she slept in front of his door till morning. So much concerned for her partner.
When you easily Forgive: Even when he or she offends you forgiveness sets in automatically.
Security: There is this feeling of safety whenever you are with them.
Trust: You trust each other and you the weakness for your partner.

The two topics for this week are in connection with each other I would share my story.

There are different ways we experience love, Like I said in the first story I experienced love at first sight and it was beautiful. I just wanted him to know me because he had all the qualities I needed in a man. from the way he walks to the way he smiles. I just want him to talk to me so I can get to know him better. We always board the same bus to work and I would always pray for him to at least wave at me and say hello but he never did. so one faithful day I made up my mind to talk to him but he didn't get to the final bus stop like we always do. I was about to lose all hope when I saw him walking up to me and he gave me a small note, At this point, I was fulfilled even before I opened the note which had his phone number inside. This I would call sudden love which would grow over time to become stronger and healthy when we apply the keys below
