Get yourself entangled in love.

I LOVE YOU are three powerful words to Express how much you value the other person.

Do you know from which language the word love is derived from?
It is from the Old English word "lufu"
We all have heard of the word love in movies, books and poems. But do we know that there are 8 forms of love?

Yes, you read it right there are 8 forms.
Now let us look at the forms of love.

1.AGAPE-meaning unconditional love.
If you are religious, you would know that God's love for us is unmitigated. You can also find such complete love from your mother.

2.EROS-this is romantic love. Do you know where does this word come from? It is from the Greek God of love and fertility. The love between husband and wife, between two true lovers is this.

3.PHILIA-Affectionate love. Love that you find between two friends, between you and your brother/sister, love between cousins, etc.,

4.PHILAUTIA-self love. This is something very important where you accept the way you are and love yourself with all your imperfections and fflaws.

5.STORGE-familiar love. It is natural or instinctual love. This is the love between mother and child, father and son. It can also be between partners. Storge love also can be where two friends turned into lovers and they don't know when it happened. This love needs a long time investment but when friendship ends it is gone.

6.PRAGMA-pragmatic or enduring love. This love can survive through all the test and trials. In a pragmatic love, the love is based on practical aspects of a relationship. Such a person does not indulge in casual romance.

7.LUDUS-playful love. Ludus comes from the Latin word "ludu" which means game. In this kind of love the person is not serious about the relationship and does not want to have any commitment towards the love.

8.MANIAC-obsessive love. The kind of love where you are obsessed for things, materialistic ones. For eg. She is a coffee maniac -where the person is obsessed for coffees.

Love is not just a feeling it is an emotion. Love is showing how much the other person is special to you and he /she means a lot.

To Love and be loved.

Don't forget to love yourself in the first place.
