One thing about the good type of loving someone is you get the bliss of being proud of them, the feeling that can warm the soul, refresh the spirit and make personal hard times so much easier.

This week has been crap, I’ve had to defer my uni modules due to not receiving the government support I need in time (restarting in February in a much better position!). There have been many tears and confusing emotions but, yesterday, my girlfriend Chloe found out she’d achieved something brilliant and it was as the chemicals in my brain altered. 

Sure, it’s still a difficult time but the feelings we have – love, care and pride – for another person can carry you, lift your mood, put a smile on your face and give your spirit joy. I am in awe of my girl all of the time but I went from misery to elated in seconds.

We don’t always have this and that’s okay.

Sometimes our brains are too caught up in the troubles and that’s OKAY.

But when you can feel the pride, joy, love and care for another, it’s the most beautiful thing that can save us from drowning like a plane that has scooped us up and flown us to the highest cloud. Sometimes we receive the same amount of thrill out of the achievements and good times of someone we love dearly as much as some of our own. 

That is precious.

That is worth grabbing with two hands when you get the chance.

That is love, the good type.
