The Diagnosis of LOVE

Below are symptoms to diagnose a person being in love:

• Having a prolonged euphoric mood and smiling to self throughout the day
• Sudden ability to understand love songs in languages never before learnt/heard of
• Accelerated heart rate at  at the sound of the person's name
• Palpitation is noticed seconds before meeting the person
• Recurrent and persistent thoughts about the person whenever apart
• Hallucination about the person being next to you all the time
• Uneasy feeling and having the urge to be hypervigilant at the absence of the person
• Sleep is willingly sacrificed just so more time can be spent together
• Hearing the other person's voice becomes compulsory before sleep each day
• Weight gain/loss is noticed
• Symptoms are not due to direct effects of a substance or general medical condition 

Having only the fuzzy feelings without the physiological effects do not qualify one to be diagnosed as being in love. All symptoms including physiological and psychological must be present and felt for at least a continuous 24 hours before such diagnosis can be confirmed.

Love Language

"As long as there is love, all things goes..."

People paint a picture of loving someone as something really easy to do. If that was the case, what then is the explanation for people not being satisfied by what is provided or not provided by their other halves? Sometimes I get puzzled myself when thinking about love and its minute complexities. I believe that once you have found "the one", you know it within you and that feeling of attainment in having that person in your life is simply astounding, leaving you in awe!

Having the presence of this person in your life can be the start of many great things. For example, you get to be the best of who you are because you want to be the best of everything you are for that person. Or you might also feel that when combined with your other half, you complement each other so well that you become one best thing!

Now imagine you've found your other half and you can't stop being grateful for having met each other? Would you  keep reminding yourself that "I am in love!" and hope to God that all things go well between the two of you? I reckon most people would. However, what if all you do is just that?And deludedly believing with all your heart and soul that "love conquers all"?

Loving someone often makes you happy. However, such happiness would not resonate from nothing if you both just sit and stare at each other. Take time to remind yourself how in awe you were when you first met each other, pray to God that you will grow in your relationship with your other half. Above all, say the words you want to say, spend time giving each other undivided attention, gift is not always about materialism, buy each other a special gifts which are able to reflect your thoughtfulness and efforts, do something to show that you care, hold those hands, rub those shoulders and remind each other over and over again how bloody lucky you both are to have found each other! :) 

Love, is quite a funny thing! :)
