Ok lovelies, here is today’s challenge: I want you to name someone who loves you. And if you ABSOLUTELY cannot think of anyone, then know I love you, love 🙂
Even though I think I’m loved by four or five people, I don’t want to affirm that yes, I AM LOVED, because somehow my brain says that doing that means that I will be rejected and forgotten soon, lol. Just my usual battle against myself… my heart versus my mind. Well, I’m going to be brave now and say that you love me, Tami (my best “real life” friend). I can name a bunch of people I love, by the way.
I want to give people a chance to feel genuinely loved and appreciated, and not used… I think that I have so much love to give, and that I try to give so much love to people, that I don’t have much love left for myself…
I agree, depending on the definition of love that the person has. If they love themselves in a selfish way (more driven by ego), they are bound to put themselves first in everything which in turns makes them care less (or do less things) for others. If they love themselves in an acceptance, i’m happy with myself way, they are bound to be more caring. Might be pretty wrong about this one, but it’s the only way i can justify the existence of some people that love themselves, but still go the extra mile for other people.
Everybody has a different definition of love, so a good challenge might be defining what love is (but i think it must have been done at some time in sp’s life span). To reply the question, my grandmother… that woman either really loves me, or is a freaking saint and has an unlimited amount of patience, lol.
To honestly answer the question, because it’s a good one and saying this out loud is important to my mental health:
My father, my stepmom, my son, my BFF, my GF, my exWife, three ex business partners and their wives, two cousins and their husbands, ten gaming buddies, 15 exGFs, 25 online only friends (including a few from SP) (likely much more?), 12 cats, two dogs, and a magical unnamed African-American trombone player who only appears to me in times of extreme need and magically disappears five minutes before the end credits roll.
What is love… Hmm, that’s a broad question with a broad answer behind it. I would say, in general, love is finding the good in others, no matter how badly they screw up. Love is driving to your friend’s house in the middle of the night to help them escape from their broken reality. Love can be fickle, love can be true… Love is an overwhelming emotion that sometimes takes over all others. It drives us bat shit crazy, and it soothes us. Love comes in so many forms that there is not but one definition for it. Love is infinite.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. It does not brag, does not get puffed up, does not behave indecently, does not look for its own interests, does not become provoked. It does not keep account of the injury. It does not rejoice over unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Don’t mean to get all biblical but this definition of love is the truest thing I’ve ever heard in my life…
Even if i don’t agree with the bible it does have some pretty good definitions for some things (and it’s highly quotable). Many people have called heresy on me, but to me it’s just a book filled of beliefs, not a holy sacred book. That said, i’m wondering how no one ended up making a what is love? baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more pun, lol.
This is a fantastic post. Definitely makes people think. Does it have to be just people though cause my pets adore me as do a few people. Charlie Chow Mein, Finnegan, Kit Kat Kitty Cat, Mikey Mew, Allie Oop-Boop love me….probably cause I give them meals and treats and walks and belly rubs and car rides…ok wait maybe they love me cause I’m like a their personal slave. Hmm, I will have think on this.
Apart from my parents (who are lovely and never let you forget you’re loved), I think the most love I have is from SP, so I’m researching whether I can marry a website.
Most likely it’s possible. People have married their dating sim’s characters, i remember someone wanted to married a tree, etc. I’m guessing you’d have to have a pretty open mind to marry sp tho. People come and go, so it would be a really polygamous marriage, hope that you don’t mind sharing, lol.
You answered, somewhat, at the top. I thought that was a good start. Believe me, I will never forget you, no matter how many times I shove an icepick in my ear.

mi familia… I love you too,Teddy. <3
Aww love you too 🙂
Hablas español? lol
Any number of guys I’ve met in prison.
I was talking to a few of them the other day and they said to tell you they love you too.
Try dropping the soap while taking a shower. Then you’ll know how deep is their love!
Shala, how deep is your love *humming*
Wait, I just got that backwards didn’t I?
Backwards is pretty much the way everybody receives love in prison.

4-5 are you sure????? O.o
Sisters (2), grandparents and nephew. Yes, I intentionally left my mom out.
You’re being modest, i mean who doesn’t love you?!
*cough* … Okay, okay… I confess *hair flip*
Thank you, Darvin x
I was waiting for you to reply coldplay fans. I would have lost it, lol.
I’m not sure anyone who really knows me does apart from my parents.
Oh come on! 😉
J/k
Who’s yours?
To satisfy a personal point, define ‘love’.
+1
Boris: Sonja, do you even know what love means?
Sonja: There are many different kinds of love, Boris. There’s love between a man and a woman. Love between a mother and a son.
Boris: Two women. Let’s not forget my favourite.
Sonja: And the love I’ve always dreamed of…
Boris: Yeah?
Sonja: …The love between two extraordinary individuals.
Boris: Sonja…
Sonja: Oh, don’t, Boris. Please. Sex without love is an empty experience.
Boris: Yes, but as empty experiences go, it’s one of the best.
“The love between two extraordinary individuals.”…
What movie is it from?
Love and Death, unfortunately, a Woody Allen movie.
@Take a Deep Breath Love is overrated. I would use the word “care for” if any… I know that my family care for me and I can count couple of dozen
PS: I love you too because you are genuinely using the word 🙂
I like this post. We are being nice and, at the same time, thinking about how love is defined.
I would do kindnesses for most people here that I won’t do for myself. That’s a pretty fractured definition of love!
I want to give people a chance to feel genuinely loved and appreciated, and not used… I think that I have so much love to give, and that I try to give so much love to people, that I don’t have much love left for myself…
I think often people who have a lot of love to give are ones who don’t love themselves (or had a time when they didn’t).
I agree, depending on the definition of love that the person has. If they love themselves in a selfish way (more driven by ego), they are bound to put themselves first in everything which in turns makes them care less (or do less things) for others.

I guess that’s pretty good.
Gah. I used the word p*rtner. Gotta stop doing that!!!

I’ve always loved that quote. I think it’s the perfect description.

The bird of love is the dove, but the bird of *true* love is the swallow.

My little brother loves me, and so much. I’m blessed to be his sister.
Apart from my parents (who are lovely and never let you forget you’re loved), I think the most love I have is from SP, so I’m researching whether I can marry a website.

I heard of someone who – though not legally – married herself.
This will sound like self hate (which is not), but if i had to pick someone to marry, the last person on earth i’d pick is myself! lol.
I know, I’d rather be single, haha.
That’d be one hell of a polygamous relationship. I wonder how the financial details would be worked out? Hmm.
Polyamorous… but that’s immaterial. Incorporate SP family as a non-profit. Buy extra toothbrushes. Done and done.
The direct, simple approach is sometimes the best.
Love to see Davin, Don, and others answer here.
heyyy! Don’t forget me, bro! 😛
You answered, somewhat, at the top. I thought that was a good start. Believe me, I will never forget you, no matter how many times I shove an icepick in my ear.
That will sure make him never forget you as well.
thanks, you guys. I appreciate you both..
No one comes to mind…so you’re my answer I guess…
I love you @Wantogiveup!!!! And people here on Sp love you. 🙂
