You Are Loved!

You are loved!

The Ancient Greeks had four concepts that could translate into the modern English word for “love”.

Eros: romantic and sexual attraction, the type of love that makes you want to loose yourself to become part of something bigger.

Storge: most commonly represented by the love between a child and parent or between siblings, this also includes extended family relationships and your friends-that-are-better-than-family and furry family members.

Philia: friendship, the type of camaraderie that comes from working closely with another towards a goal, this is your band mates and your closest friends and those class mates and co-workers that make the daily grind a little easier just by being there.

Agape: at it purest form it’s described as a love of nature, but it also encompasses the love you have for your community and strangers and the divine.

So you are loved, because even if you don’t have a significant other you have family and friends and a community that loves you.
