I was just going to post the same thing!

Words of affirmation are exactly the balm my spirit needs sometimes. Just that is enough usually... but then I'm a teacup... lol

Words stay with me...ohhh those sweet little tidbits make me melt.... :bunchflowers:

[BullDog]

Kindness

Respect

Thoughtfulness

Willingness to work out problems and misunderstandings. Recognize that I always operate from good intent and am willing to communicate and work things out and be willing to offer the same.

For the Person to Love themself

CASH.......bushels and bushels of cash.........:giggle:

Bushels here is a brand of tea bag so when translated it become tea bags & tea bags of cash....Made me giggle even harder.... :D


and some cheesecake....

I am out of cheesecake! But I do have some cookies if those will work :)

Let me be me. I am quirky, crazy, fearless and fearful. I can beat anything that tries to stop me but sometimes I need to hide from the bad. I need to feel the sovereign .... I don't need to be harped on when I am wrong, I can figure that out. I just want a place to go that is safe from ridicule and safe from the energy suckers.

I got my partner and I expect my partner to have me.

People who spread lies about people they don't even know will end up losing everything they value. If you want to be loved, be a decent honorable person because in the end you have to live with yourself. Remember that.

YES.

if someone feels obligated what is the point?

[Gemme]

A little time, a lotta love and the freedom to be me and to be appreciated for what I bring to the table. When you know you are really and truly valued in a relationship, there are no limits.

Safe feelings and patience, I hear I am hard to love

[thedreamerin]

I'm sensitive. I need to feel it. I also need to hear it. The best way is to listen. When you listen and respond with gentleness I eat that up.

[CherryWine]

Consistency.

I have been thinking about this for the last few days. Sometimes I think, we think we know - but do we really? Can we actually say or explain our needs to another person?

What makes YOU feel secure and loved?

Is it a way that someone talks to you? That they pay attention to how you feel and are in tune with your emotions? Do they make you feel interesting and special? Is it being able to say nothing and just "be" with that person?

Or is it in gestures? Flowers, breakfast in bed? Notes on the pillow?

Is it routine? Coming home every Friday and knowing that Friday is always pizza night? Making the bed together every morning? Sunday is cleaning day?

What do you need to feel loved the way that you need to be loved?

May I suggest scanning Chapman's book Five Languages of Love ...

To feel like a priority :wine:

[REA33]

She is there for me when I really need her presence
She doesn't blame me if I make a mistake in harsh words
She knows how to soothe my bitter and hard feeling
She gives her patience toward me
and being faithful with me
