The (Un)Known Love Language

Communication

You have to be careful with it, and it might be a combination of quite a few other love languages but I see it as a valuable and overlooked one.

Just look up any “best advice this married couple of 50 + years had for others” (obviously not a direct link or quote) and one of the first things that comes up is communication, there’s a lot of love and vulnerability in sharing thoughts with one another whether it’s verbal or written or in the unspoken, or as I like to call “shared wavelength moments”* *makes wave motion with hand*.

Communication is about information exchange as paraphrased from Merriam-Webster, but I think we read over a statement like that. Information is power, whether it’s teaching someone about your faith, exchanging conversation with someone you love so they can learn more about you, a politician explaining how they want to run government, or maybe a teacher helping you understand language in the first place!

Communication means sharing of ideas, thoughts, often emotions, and opinions, that’s often some very vulnerable stuff if you ask me! Communication is truly a building block of life.

I love communication whether in writing, conversation, debate or ortherwise, sometimes I get sick of it and people can get longwinded, myself included) but there is so much to be had in it.

Words and their meanings are powerful! From thinking about how some groups try to change the meaning of work to the religious respect of some words.

*Shared wavelength moments is how I describe moments with friends where we both hear or experience something, and I can look at them and kind of know they just processed something the same way I did
