It's all about Love & Quilling!

“Love is all we need to live a happy and fulfilling life and not just exist on Earth”.

Love is being Selfless. It is a feeling of togetherness, which goes beyond self-interest & selfishness. Love creates a sense of well-being & nurtures each other throughout the lifetime.

Love is the most secure feeling and having a companion for yourself, through every avenue in the journey of life. It is like a "Win-Win condition" or a "Give & Take" concept of sharing your feelings or yet more, sharing your life, mutually. In a healthy relationship, each person understands the commitment & respect they have for each other.

Compatibility is more important than chemistry and being synchronized both emotionally & morally makes the relationship even healthier. Love is being vulnerable; giving each other a map of all your flaws and imperfections whilst putting faith in them to not abuse it. Yet, it is that feeling, when your partner just exists near you and that makes your daily life normal while their absence creates emptiness.

Even more, love is growing old together from being the happiest moments, daily routines, and to the times of distress. It is, looking at the annoying things done by each other positively as opportunities for growth and not as obstacles. Knowing what the other person likes or dislikes and understanding each other better brings mutual happiness in any Love story.

Personally, this saying had a great impact in me:

“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” —Lao Tzu

Similar to other feelings, expressing love takes practice. However, feeling and displaying love can result in a huge shift in our lives. 

Here are some creative yet very simple handmade flashcards made using paper quilling techniques. You can frame it or gift as Flashcards to express love to your partner!!

 1. "I LOVE US"

2. " I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU"

3. " I WISH I COULD TURN BACK THE CLOCK, SO THAT I'LL KEEP LOVING YOU AGAIN & AGAIN"

4. "I WANT TO GROW OLD WITH YOU"

 

5. "GOOD THINGS IN LIFE ARE BETTER WITH YOU"

6. "YOU ARE THE REASON I AM IN LOVE"

PS: There are many innovative ways to express love which I shall share in my upcoming posts.
