My "love language"


My sister is always asking me what my love language is and telling me that I should read the book about the “five love languages” to find out what mine is. And I think I finally figured mine out last night. I don’t even know if this is a love language or if I am the only one on this earth with this kind of love language, and to be honest, it seems like of silly. My “love language” is people interested in what I am interested in, people wanting to like what I like, people making an effort to understand what I enjoy so that they can enjoy it with me. I call my love language “common interest.” 
I have lately been feeling that no one understands what I am interested in and no one desires to understand so that they can enjoy what I enjoy with me. I have been feeling that no one has the same interests or likes and dislikes as I do. It made me feel alone, as if no one understood me. I just want someone to share in what I love and enjoy and no one seems to do that. 
Two thoughts came out of this. First we need to be looking out for each other’s love language (I think this means I am going to have to pick up that book soon!), try to understand those around you and figure out how you can show them just how much you care and love them. Also, I may feel like no one understand me or shares a common interest with me, but God always understands me and will always know what makes me happy! Even if the world seems nothing like you, God is the One who created you and He made you special. He understands when no one else does! And He places people in our lives who learn to understand us, even if we can’t see them yet! 
I don’t know if I have this “love language” thing figured out, but that is what I think about the whole “thing”! And I am going to try and understand it more, which means reading the book!
