I think it's important to know what love language I speak so that I know how I like to receive love. It's also very important to know what love language others speak so that when we want to show love, we can "speak" their language, as it were, and make love apparent. I want to make sure I understand this for when I'm married. Or really, in any relationship. I also want to make sure I know it for my children, because I want to make sure they know I love them.
A few things I've learned about myself in the past year or so: I like to receive gifts. =] Especially ones that took thought, planning, and time. When people ask me what I want, I lovingly tell them exactly what it is that I want from them. (See, that way I'm answering their question. Everyone likes to have their questions answered, right?)
I like for people to remember things that are important to me. i.e., my birthday, my favorite scripture story, what makes me happy. I like to remember people's birthdays. That probably goes back to liking when people remember mine. I just want people to know that I love them, and remembering them is one way that I show that. I like attention. I like to be the center of attention. Not usually of a big group. It's alright for me to be the center of attention of a big group. But usually, one-on-one is better. Like when a guy asks me to dance, and then doesn't look at me or talk to me, and I so ticked! Haha. I really like to be paid attention to. I like to do things that get me out of my comfort zone. I don't ever want to regret not taking a chance I could've taken, or wishing that I hadn't lived a certain way I did. I already have one big regret, and I don't want any more.
I like to work hard. Haha. Let me rephrase that. I like being able to say, at the end of the day, that I exhausted myself, and then go to sleep. I don't actually like sleeping, though. I just like to be rested. I like to spend time with my friends. That goes back to quality time, the number one way someone can show me that they love me. I like to have heart-to-hearts with people I love about spiritual things. I love getting different points of view.
I don't like to be criticized, but I like to know what to make better. I want to do what Pres Hinckley said, and always try to be better. I just don't like it when people tell me I'm doing something wrong. Well, to an extent. I like corrective criticism when I have the Holy Ghost and I can take it the right way. haha I like to talk to my mom. She is an amazing well of information and words of wisdom. She has lived through so much, and continues to grow right before my eyes.
I like good food. Haha. I like to be outside. I like jewelry, dressing up, and doing my hair. I like to get dirty, too. Hey, that goes back to being balanced, again. I like to take notes during things that make me learn (like EFY, EdWeek, General Conference) so that I can look back on those notes later and see things to pray for. I love Michael Buble's music with a passion, and Owl City music makes me happy almost as well as Michael's. =P I like the old style movies. The ones that are black and white, (color's good, too) with the singing and dancing and where women acted lady-like. Movies from the '40's. I like to be lady-like myself. I like young men to open my door for me. I like to give compliments and receive them. I like growing up, because the older I get the sooner the best part of eternity starts. =] I like writing in my journal. One of my most favorite feelings ever is the feel of the pages of a journal I wrote. I filled in all those pages with my story. It's a neat feeling. ^_^ And most of all, I love my Heavenly Father and my savior, Jesus Christ. I know that my life will continue to be blessed if I make them the center of my life, of all I do. I love living the gospel because I know that it brings true happiness and joy. And joy is what men and women are supposed to have. 2 Nephi 2:25. =] "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy."
