Walk The Walk, Talk The Talk
The concept of love languages is an interesting one because I’ve personally found that it tends to change from time to time and these changes usually come about due to events in our lives or people that we interact with or just changes in our personal convictions. So we’ve got the five main love languages; Physical Touch, Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Quality Time and Receiving Gifts. There’s also this theory that one’s love language is something their younger self lacked. I find this theory very interesting because my love language is Acts of Service and I wouldn’t say this is in anyway linked to my childhood, I just value efforts to do things that make life easier for me.
I love words. I love long paragraphs of words. I love to read and I love to write. It should therefore come as no surprise that Words of Affirmation used to be my love language. But that changed after dealing with people who talked a huge deal and had little to no action backing that up. That’s the thing about Acts of Service; they are “acts”. Action all the way. You don't have to say “B, I’ll do this for you”, you just go right ahead and do it. It’s the most attractive thing. Here’s my dilemma though; I still loveee words. I’ve taken the love languages test more than a dozen times and the results vary from time to time but Acts of Service stays at the top and Words of Affirmation has been at the bottom for some time now. But deep within my heart, I know that I love to hear certain things and read certain things and that I still find stuff like that cute. However, when it’s time to answer questions, I give the most logical answer because I know what I should want and what I feel is best for me.
I guess my point is that a lot of the time, there’s a struggle between the head and the heart. It’s not an easy one by any means and sometimes, you don’t even realise that it is happening. Doing what is best for you sometimes is choosing to go with logic and other times, it is listening itently to your heart. The most important thing though is to be true to yourself always. Facing the truth sometimes can be very very difficult but lying to oneself has to be one of the most dangerous things in the world. Wishing us all the absolute best and the strength to be able to be truthful with/to ourselves always x
Soooo, bondwithbee now has a Twitter and an askfm account. I recognise that sometimes, we need a place to vent and ask hard questions and maybe do so anonymously and I want to be able to provide that avenue to whoever needs it. I’m not going to pretend to have all the answers because I really don’t. I’m going through life asking the Holy Spirit to guide me everyday. But I really want to be able to be there for whoever needs me. So if you ever need to talk or vent or you need advice on something, the link to my askfm is in my twitter bio (I’ll attach a link here as well). Please do not hesitate to hit me up. I love you guys and God loves you more
