 Love, means different things to different people, but I think everyone’s definition would have one part as a common factor - Respect for one another. When we respect someone not only do we adore them but we are also willing to learn from them, at the same time letting them be themselves. This is how personalities can complement each other and we work as a team. We often tend to lose ourselves in the work we enjoy, in the relationship, in our partners…somewhere we end up trying to inculcate so many things into ourselves that we change- sometimes for the good, sometimes not so much; I guess a part of self-love is to respect yourself enough to take a moment to look and decide whether you becoming something that you like. ‘Mindset’ is a game changer, what value you hold for yourself seeps into your relations, and work. It is important to stand that ground and also make sure you are knowingly or unknowingly not letting someone question theirs.

For me a huge part of what love means is to accept; there is such a narrow slice of chance to find someone that ticks off all boxes of your criteria, reciprocates to your interest and you gel up. Better to keep your horizon broad, let Cupid gives you signs and you follow, cause its as much as liking each other as it is who is ready to the effort that goes in keeping it good, and there’s no joy in changing the other person to become like you.
