Enchantment

Happy Labour day, lovelies and hunnies!

Mom and I had planned to pay Gramps a visit and then hit the malls, but I got kinda lazy and pointed out to her that we'll end up as sardines in a can anyway. Bad choice to go shopping on a public holiday, agree?

Yesterday, I had one of my most enriching sessions at church. The topic touched on was Love.

Once upon a time, I was on the phone with Anisah and I asked her "How do you know when you're in love? Are you supposed to feel all lightheaded, like you're floating on cloud 9?"

She gave me a reply choked full of the myriad of sensations she experienced when she was very much in love. Well, She IS still madly in love with her significant other, like bees to honey and pumpkins to honeydews and all that crap ;p.

"When you're falling in love, you just know it." She had said matter-of-factly.

In my current relationship, I won't deny that there were times when I questioned myself, "Am I in love with him or in like, and if so, how do I know it's for real?"

Since I had no answers to the questions posed, I decided to 'let nature take its course' and let love come in its own time. Very smart, eh? The rudimentary solution to an unsolvable mystery.

However, my flaccid theories were proven wrong yesterday.

The misconception that I had all along about love was that love is uncontrollable. Falling in love is a natural process, it can't be forced, or so I thought.

What I have learnt and adopted for a day and a half and still counting, is that love is a matter of choice. It is something that we can choose to have. You don't wait to fall in love with someone, you choose to, you stick by it and that is where commitment shines through.

Love is a matter of conduct. You cannot love someone with just words and tongue, but to wholly love, you bring in actions and in truth. You do it, and not just feel it.

The love I feel towards Scooby is storge, which means natural affection. When you look at Scoobs, it just comes naturally to you to wanna love him, protect him and keep him safe.







Phillia, which means friendship, is what I feel for Anisah!







or ??
Eros means sexual attraction. HAHAHA. I'M JUST KIDDING (for the slower ones who haven't realized this is just for laughs).






And lastly, it will have to be unconditional love, Agape, what God feels for us and generally what most mommies lavish on their children :).



New Greek words which I learnt yesterday!
