Alright, let’s talk about this livin’ and lovin’ stuff, you know? It ain’t rocket science, but it ain’t always easy peasy neither.
What is this livin’ love thing anyway?
Well, it ain’t just sayin’ those three little words, “I love you.” Though them words is nice and all, they ain’t the whole shebang. It’s more like, you gotta show it, you know? Like, when someone tells ya somethin’, you don’t just nod and walk away. You say, “Tell me more!” You gotta be interested, gotta dig deeper. That’s part of livin’ love. It’s like plantin’ a seed, ya gotta water it and give it sunshine if ya want it to grow big and strong.
- Listenin’ is a big part of it.
- Showin’ you care, that’s important too.
- And don’t forget them little things, they matter.
Now, whether you’re tryin’ to make things better with your old man or findin’ yourself a new fella, this livin’ love stuff is the same. It’s about buildin’ somethin’ that lasts, somethin’ real. Not just some fly-by-night thing that fizzles out like a wet firecracker.
How to keep the love alive?
There’s this fella, Doc somethin’-or-other, wrote a book about love. He said there’s different ways folks feel loved. Some folks like hearin’ nice words, some like gettin’ little gifts, some just want you to spend time with ’em. You gotta figure out what makes your person tick, you know? Can’t be treatin’ everyone the same, like they’re all just chickens in the coop. Everybody’s different, and that’s a fact.
Think about it like this: if your man likes it when you make him his favorite pie, then you make him that pie! Don’t just sit there and say, “Well, I told him I loved him this mornin’, that’s enough.” Nah, that ain’t how it works. Love is in the doin’, not just the sayin’. It’s in the little things, like bringin’ him a cup of coffee in the mornin’ or listenin’ to him gripe about his day, even when you’re tired as a dog.
And it ain’t all about him neither. You gotta speak up too. Tell him what you need, tell him what makes you happy. If he ain’t listenin’, well, then that’s a whole ‘nother problem. But you gotta give him a chance to hear ya. It’s like a two-way street, you gotta go both ways. You can’t just be standin’ on one side, yellin’ at the traffic. Ain’t nobody gonna hear ya that way.
Is it true love or just a fling?
Now, how do you know if it’s the real deal, this love? Well, that’s a tough one. But I reckon it’s when you know, deep down in your gut, that this person wants the best for you. They ain’t tryin’ to hold you back, they ain’t tryin’ to change you. They just want you to be happy, to be the best you can be. And you feel the same way about them.
They listen to ya when you talk, really listen, not just pretendin’ to. You feel heard, you feel understood. And you can see a future with ’em, a future where you’re both growin’ and learnin’ together, side by side. It ain’t always gonna be sunshine and roses, mind you. There’ll be storms, there’ll be tough times. But if you got that real love, that livin’ love, then you’ll weather them storms together.
Love ain’t always about the romance!
And don’t forget, love ain’t just about that romantic stuff neither. It’s about lovin’ your family, your friends, your neighbors, even that ornery old goat down the street. It’s about treatin’ folks with kindness and respect, even when they don’t deserve it. It’s about bein’ a good person, a decent person. That’s part of livin’ love too, you know?
So, there you have it. My two cents on this livin’ love thing. It ain’t fancy, it ain’t complicated. It’s just about bein’ real, bein’ honest, and bein’ there for the folks you care about. Now go on out there and spread some love around. The world could sure use a little more of it these days.
And remember, livin’ love is a choice you make every single day. It’s not just a feeling, it’s somethin’ you gotta work at. But it’s worth it, let me tell you. It’s worth it.
