Why I Quit Smoking, Drinking, and People Who Made Me Miserable

Why I Quit Smoking, Drinking, and People Who Made Me Miserable (aka My Solicitor is My New Best Friend) I smoked to get rid of my mother. I drank to get rid of my ex.

What are the 5 love languages

 The Five Love Languages is a concept developed by Dr. Gary Chapman, which describes the different ways people give and receive love. These love languages are:


1. Words of Affirmation: This love language involves expressing love and appreciation through verbal compliments, words of encouragement, and kind affirmations.


2. Acts of Service: People with this love language feel loved when their partner helps them with tasks or responsibilities, performs acts of kindness, or takes actions to make their life easier.


3. Receiving Gifts: This love language involves feeling loved through the giving and receiving of thoughtful gifts. It's not about materialism but rather the sentiment and thought behind the gift.


4. Quality Time: This love language focuses on spending meaningful, undivided attention with your partner. It involves engaging in activities together, having deep conversations, and creating shared experiences.


5. Physical Touch: This love language involves feeling loved through physical touch, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing, or other forms of affectionate contact.


It's important to note that everyone has a primary love language, but they may also appreciate and respond to other love languages to varying degrees. Understanding your partner's love language and expressing love in a way that resonates with them can greatly enhance your relationship.
