Types Of Love - Tumblr Posts
People who love you won’t mind wasting time for you, because time spent making you happy isn’t wasted.
My friend hates wearing makeup and has no interest in it whatsoever. Still, she’ll accompany me to stores and tell me which lipstick she thinks is nicer and offer to pay for my stuff because she wants me to be happy. She will sacrifice time and effort and money because she wants me to be happy. That’s love.
Thinking about how differently the west and the east profess the same thing.
Hey, I'm going to the store now. Let me know if you need anything. I love you. / I'm going out now, where's your shopping list?
No, you're amazing! You're precious, they don't know what they're talking about! I know it was mean, but but don't let it bother you, okay? Stop crying, please? / They said that? Retards. Like c'mon, have they looked at themselves in the mirror? Donkeys. Now wash your face, it's all red.
I know I was angry, and I said some awful things, but... forgive me? / Hey. Here's some peeled fruit. Stop sulking, okay?
I think that it's because the west sees love as a a form of affirmation- I love you, here these flowers are for you. I'm here for you. I see you. Stay safe- and the east sees it as a form of expression- I bought you pens because you ran out, now give me those chocolates. Come on, I'll talk to those idiots for you. You're working hard, stop it before you get stupider than you are- and I think it's beautiful.
