1. Love of parent, unconditional, a parent doesn’t ask anything of their child for them to love them.

---

2. Love of friend

---

3. Romantic love (normally based on how the person makes them feel, what they do for them, how they treat them, this forms the basis of this love.

---

4. Soul love. (My belief, and it is my belief, you can call it stupid if you wish idm haha. My belief is that if it’s possible for a parental love to be unconditional, you don’t ask or require anything from them to love them. My thought process is this. Soul love is the romantic evolution of this love. Eg you are at a point in which you don’t love someone coz of how they treat you, or what they do for you, or how they make you feel. You love them no matter what, and wish them to be happy no matter what. It’s no longer held with restraints of the selfish desire of one being with you, spending time with you, making you feel good. It is the open heart and soul love that wishes them absolute love and happiness without anything in return.

5. I believe this love can also exist from an evolution of the friendship love too.

---

🙂 that’s my belief, think it’s stupid, that’s your right haha.

I have been pondering it a while. Meh

It’s been nearly 7 months but I still occasionally think back to it. I don’t miss her but I can’t help but feel sad about what happened and how it just slowly declined and how much she lied. I’ve had relationships before and I’ve felt love before but I think I was IN love with her or at least falling, before the lies and such started. I’ve also had crushes and other relationships since it ended sometime in October, in which I never even thought of her. Those breakups didn’t affect me nearly as much as this one, either. I'm still working on this myself - I have only had one true love and he broke my heart a few months ago. However, I have been talking to a lot of friends and family about their first loves. And, the consensus is that you do move on from them and, of course, go on to live a happy and fulfilling life. But - their mark will always be on you. My mom had her heart destroyed by a cheating boyfriend in her mid 20s. She was in a terrible depression for over a year from it. Fast forward thirty years and she is with my amazing father and has two children that she loves. She tells me that she wouldn't have life any other way - and she wishes she could go back in time and tell her heartbroken past self that the intense heartbreak she felt was necessary to lead her to where she is now. She also still does think of her first love from time to time. Not in a regretful or sad way, more just curiosity. My first proper relationship/ girlfriend back in 2009 broke up with me, we were in the same class for our final year of school, we were also best friends. We dated at the end of the year confessing our true feelings for one another. I had a mega crush on her as I got to know her more. We spent a lot of time together, probably less than what I would have liked. She ended it after we stopped talking for almost a week. I was trying to act aloof and distant because she didn't really seem invested in the relationship anymore. She met up with me and ended it, and as it stood, she was my first and it took me almost a year to stop pondering over her. I was completed devastated and gutted that she ended it. I mentioned it to friends every chance I got, my friends were so sick of hearing about it, that one of them had to sit me down and told me straight to my face to get over it. It took a while but I just started moving into adulthood, and focusing on my life and doing things for me which helped me moved on. I spent more time with friends and started seeing a lot of other women. When two years passed I thought about her from time to time but the feelings were almost non existent, to the point where I knew I could talk to her in real life and not give a single fuck. As it stands today, I rarely if ever think about that girl. The only times I do is when people ask questions about my past. I find the concept of being with her absurd and also have the ' What was I thinking, I can do much better. I didn't deserve to be treated like that', moments whenever I do.

Today at midnight, I don’t know why my pen was willing to write a passage of emotions. It may be because of facing a lot of hindrances to touch the rose of destination or due to receiving ‘gifts’ of sorrows and grief from the beloveds. So, I started thinking about what to write. I was very confused as to which quality either bad or good is common in all humans.
I couldn’t decide but one thing that came to my mind was that humans are naturally greedy. Then, besides this, which other quality is common to all? Time went on passing by but my pen wasn’t ready to write anything on the philosophy of human psychology. So, I used it for scratching my head and went to bed.
Finally, night doffed its veil and with a glowing face, a sun rose. I got up and after taking tea, started to find out the answer to the question that kept me perplexed the night before.
I kept on pondering but couldn’t get my answer. But, one day, when I was coming home at night, suddenly I felt the fear as nothing was around me.
This was my eureka moment, and I got my answer! My thought journey continued and it dawned on me that it is due to fear that other qualities — good or bad — grow up. We tell lies out of fear. A person thinks he hid the reality but he unknowingly opens hundreds of new questions in which he himself will be trapped. A child tells lies to his parents and teachers. Why? Just out of fear. Another such trait is jealousy which develops in the psyche of a person.
It too emanates from fear. You may not agree to my assertion but an example would make it as clear as crystal. If a person moves forward in life and treads the path to prosperity, another will be jealous of him just because he has his own fear of going backwards.
Another question which came to my mind was: what are the hardest works to do? One may feel that for a man who doesn’t take any interest in anything, everything will be hard. But, in reality, providing justice, making decisions and shouldering responsibility are the hardest things to do in the world.
All of these are inter-related phenomena. Before providing justice and taking responsibility, a man would take a decision on doing it. On every point of life, in every minute and in every second, a person has to make decisions. Then, why it is so hard a task? Here again the main culprit is fear; fear that this decision may not be beneficial in future.
Tolerance, compromise and encouraging others are the most coveted qualities in a human being. By tolerating the jibes and taunts of others, you will be able to know who actually is yours and you will be away from thousands of worries. By compromising on some things in life, you will be ideal personality for others.
I sum up my thoughts by famous saying, “Correction does much, but encouragement does more.”

It's also pretty basic marketing tactics to restrict supply to create a buzz in an attempt to artificially cultivate high levels of demand and market exposure. Sold out simply means that stock being held at a physical location is less than or equal to that location's demand. It tells us only relative numbers and nothing about what the actual level of demand (or supply) is.

---

Meaning: sold out can mean they are producing as many a physically possible but too many people want one; sold out can mean they are restricting production.

---

As I said earlier, and hopefully now you understand, I don't know what kind of sold out it is. All I see are reports that there is no supply (Chinese fans saying it's sold out) and also little evidence of demand with funds to back it up (very few people online reporting that they've bought a pair).

---

And I repeat again, fanboy onion hopes it's all going well but business John would be a fool not to keep pondering. Of the two sold out scenarios, the former can be true while the later just appears to be true simply from lack of data (people reporting their purchases after purchasing) and that is the danger of jumping to negative conclusions.
