Elusive

Once, you took the love language test, and found out that quality time was your top love language. Second in line was words of affirmation. You can't recall what followed after - you try and try, but it is an elusive thought - then again, do they even matter, anyway. 

But what happens when you don't get either? What happens when you don't get to have quality time yet you also know it's not something you should be complaining about, since it's not beyond anyone's means to make the decision? Next you look at second best. What if you don't get it too? What happens when you don't get it yet, again, you know that it's not something you should be complaining about as well, since not everyone shows their love through the same way as you? Words may be of utmost importance to you. You absolutely adore encouragement and moral support from everyone and anyone (I mean, who doesn't?), especially the ones you hold dearly to my heart. You constantly strive to give these people you care most about all the encouragement that all of you can provide them with, hoping that in return, perhaps you might get some, too. But what if - what if you don't? Even if it is unconditional love you are talking about... don't you want to feel loved, too? 

You are doing well. Amidst all of the things you have on hand, occasionally you may want to listen to someone encourage you, motivate you, push you on. It is normal. It is very normal. There is nothing wrong with wanting that. You are only human. But you are doing well. At least that is what you choose to believe. All is well. And all will be well, as long as you tell yourself that. 

What about quality time, what about affirmative words? Heck them, you don't need them to be whole. You can spend quality time alone, you can give yourself words of affirmation to press on. You... are doing well. And that is what you choose to believe in, for as long as you can.
