Old school Love β€οΈ

I know we love the idea of being independent and making our own money, but have you ever noticed how our parents shared the money inspite of one of them making it? They never named it yours or mine. They meant it when they said it is ‘ours’. I know our parents never showed their love infront of us but have you ever noticed our mothers cooking our father’s favourite food to make him happy and not miss his mother? To give the warmth of love in a bowl of curry. I know it’s not big of an effort but it is a gesture,a gesture of love and respect for eachother.

Being independent have made things easy in a relationship, and I do not doubt it, but have you ever done something as easy as picking up you partner from office or from airport not because they cannot do it by themselves but because you wanted to, like our fathers used to do for our mothers. It doesn’t make your partners dependent but it makes them see that you have their back. ❀️

Have you ever tried holding your partners luggage on a trip, make them comfortable in thier seats and take care of them just like a baby not because they are one but because you want them to rest after all the things that they do for you , to show gratitude and gratefulness to them, like our fathers used to do for our mothers.

Now, I do not know if we would be lucky to experience that kind of love but when we get it let us ensure that we double it for our partner, and that would be us being grateful to our partner. After all, Love is not about big efforts and big surprises,it is and it has always been an amalgamation of small gestures that we do for our partners. Love isn’t about proposing them in front of Eiffel towerπŸ—Ό, It’s about meaning what you say even if it is in a corner of your house where you are preparing tea for your partner while it is raining outside like our fathers used to for our mothers. ❀️ or maybe vice-versa πŸ˜‰

With love
