C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

How To Love Someone Without Losing Yourself Completely
It does not imply that you can love another person and lose your identity. A healthy relationship would entail a situation where the two partners get to be individual and intimate with each other. Blurring of boundaries and neglecting personal needs in favor of satisfying or adjusting to a partner is a common predicament that causes one to lose oneself. Being aware of your values, wants and boundaries will enable you to love without being hypocritical. It is essential to understand this balance in order to be able to learn how to respect oneself, be emotionally healthy, and have a satisfying relationship with the partner when neither one of the partners loses his/her sense of self.

Twelfth Night
I started my first paragraph explaining that I need an extra winter ritual because I live in a city with a cold winter and the hours of daylight are too few, but I realized that is not true. First of all there is always a colder, darker city, for example Thunder Bay, Ontario, or the military bases at Alert or Thule, to take more extreme examples. Secondly, there already are rituals to bring light to the dark: Christmas lights, Diwali, or one could join the Druids at Stonehenge on the Solstice, for example. More importantly, that is not the reason for my ritual. I do it for social connection.

How To Create A Love Story That Feels Real And Restful
Love has an actual and peaceful love story which starts when you know love is not meant to run you but it is meant to be the one that stabilizes you. In a society where passionate anarchy is sometimes a celebrated trait, most individuals mix up passion with being close. But true love does not drain your vitality and make you guess all the time. On the contrary, it leads to emotional clarity. You experience you are understood, supported and safe. A peaceful love affair develops through respect, emotional and presence rather than turbulent highs and lows.

When Your Partner Makes You Feel Loved Without Words
It is also a special type of love which does not depend on long speeches and literary proclamations. Rather, it expresses itself in gestures, presence and moments of great silence but full content. When your partner shows that he/she loves you without uttering words, you know that you are connected via the emotional sense and not through verbal reinforcement. Their love is something that is experienced and not heard, something that is manifested in the blank areas where emotional security is nurturing itself. This implicit love frequently ends up the spirit of intimacy.
