How Do You Show Love?

-

Several weeks ago I was doing another round of scrolling through Pinterest looking for more blog prompts/ideas to write about or get ideas from. And one of the prompts that I came across was in a month-long challenge for the month of February. Since there were several prompts that involved the topic of love, because of Valentine's Day, I decided to write down a few of them. One of the questions that I wrote down is "How Do You Show Love?"

Instead of trying to come up with an entire post just on how I show love, what I did is I shared this question on social media so that people could respond. And here are the responses that I received to this question.

"Through my actions towards someone."

"Small Comforts."

"Entertain others, care for my legacy."

"Doing something for someone."

-------------------

Based on these answers alone, we can see that people have different ways that they show love as it corresponds to their love language and personality. This also goes along the lines of "The 5 Love Languages" book byDr. Gary Chapman. My main love language is Quality Time with Words of Affirmation coming in second place. The other three love languages Acts of Service, Receiving Gifts, and Physical Touch all very in where they fall on the list. 

Just by reading the responses above and from what I know of the 5 love languages, it's not hard to start seeing a little bit of the different languages in each response. Of course, everyone shows their main love language differently. In my family, almost everyone has quality time as their love language, but we all show it differently. For me, quality time is usually sitting in the same room as someone else and we don't have to say anything. We can just be sitting there reading a book, coloring in a coloring book or looking at an electronic device. Again it all depends on the people you are with as well as their personalities and attitudes.

The Other Side of Modesty

When we hear the word modesty, the first thing that comes to mind is clothing that covers everything or the majority of your body. Dressing modestly is something I have grown up with and have been around my entire life. And it can be considered a "hot topic" regarding what girls and women wear. Especially when it comes to places like schools and the workplace. But most people don't realize that modesty isn't just about what you wear; it is also about how you act around others and toward yourself.  Photo by Amanda Canas on Unsplash I am talking about this because I read an article on my Facebook feed the other day about a father who posted a picture with his two daughters in their homecoming dresses. And it was talking about his response to the people commenting on the style of the dresses. I don't remember the article's name, but I do know that it mentioned "girls to dress, so they don't distract boys," as well as saying that they are "aski...

The only bright side, besides being able to come inside and warm up, was getting hot chocolate. --- 5 --- Since I couldn't think of anything else to write for this one I decided to share the first couple sentences of what I have written so far of my story let me know how you like it :) Standing under the only low-lit street lamp Xiomara looked both ways at the quiet street lit only by the light of the street lamps. Sighing to herself...
