My Love Language and Quarantine

​We’ve all heard of the 5 love languages, right? Well if not, here’s a quick little summary to quickly explain:

As you can imagine, getting these things in quarantine has been a challenge. 

Physical touch is basically a sin right now. I went from a job where I could easily get 30-40 hugs a day, to absolutely nothing. I’m deprived in all the ways, yall. No hugs, no handshakes, no pat on the back, NO KISSES, no cuddles, no sex. I’ve made my peace with it. It is what it is on that. (No, I’m not ok) (And I lied, I’ve not made my peace with it) (Manifest manifest manifest) (LOL)

Quality time is a whole different story. It’s easier to get, but there are challenges. Quality time has to be intentional for me. If we’re hanging out and you’re constantly scrolling or you're playing a game, or on the phone, that’s not quality time. We can definitely enjoy time sharing space, but quality time is about me and you setting out time to  do something together. Even if that something is taking a nap! I’m a brat. I want my time, exclusively. Not all the time, but every once in a while.  People may have different definitions of what it means so this one takes communication.

I've had to make consolations and adjustments. I've had to decline things that I would've said yes to in a heartbeat. Quarantine has been difficult for lots of reasons, but two of those reasons are the difficulty I have with the ways I like to be loved. My friends are doing what they can to help me out as best they can and I'm very grateful for that!
