Consideration: An act of love!

 

To you, my love! 

I’ve learned that one of the acts of love is consideration.

I write you in hope that you might understand what this means. 

I can not bear being loved without consideration. Lover of mine, consider me. 

Consideration is to think about factors, data, information and to extend regards for the needs of the other based on discovery.

If I were to describe consideration as an act of love; the one I hope you learn, the one I look to extend. It would be to pay attention to the details of things one’s partner desires, that the world you both are in isn’t uncomfortable for either to live. 

I hope that you understand consideration, but more importantly, you extend it to me, with or without being taught. I hope that I share the same grace when it comes to you and I extend even a better version of thinking of you in the midst of the things that are done; before they are done, while they are getting done even as they finish. 

Consider me, think of me, lessen my hurts. 

When people talk about love, people talk about care, affection, interest. People talk a lot about other things, but at this moment, I would like to take a pause and acknowledge the role of consideration.

And I hope that, in our dealings of love, people take very essential the concept of consideration. 

The dictionary breaks down consideration as the depth of information or data retrieved in understanding somebody else’s need. 

And I write you, special lover of mine, that if you ever do think of me in the middle of anything, you think of me, yes, in affection, but also in consideration. In consideration of my need, my interest, and my desires. In consideration of the things that I want to be and things that I previously left behind.

When you consider a person, you think for them at certain moments, you think about them, and you think with them. That’s my idea of consideration.

So, dear lover of mine, consider me. Consider me in your process, in your decision-making, in your day-to-day activities. When we start, think of me, think of my interests, think of things that aligns with me, things that are best for me.

Because in consideration, you’re able to pick up items for me. You’re able to say that these are things that are fit for me, (not just material things). And I hope that I extend the same grace for you. I extend the same ability for you. To consider you in the midst of everything that I think about, even at the slightest, and even in the deepest moments that I’m thinking of you.

Consideration, a very big factor of love. To be considered, or to be loved to the point of consideration. I think that it’s beautiful that you think, “What would my lover desire?” And that at a time like this would please my lover.

To build your world in the depth of them, and to understand what it is for them and, when you take certain decisions, the effect it would have on them.

To be loved to the point of consideration. Oh, how beautiful.
