I found this list on another blog and I just have to share because this time of year makes you think about the ones you love. Which types of love have you experienced in your life? I think I have been through all of them in one relationship or another, perhaps all at once! Sadly, you never really know which one you're in until it's over.... Cheers to all kinds of love and the hell that comes with them!
