Beating Heart Emoji

๐Ÿ’“ Beating Heart Emoji

If we could describe cliched love songs with a single emoji, it would be ๐Ÿ’“. It’s the heart that beats for the lover.

Apart from that, ๐Ÿ’“ is a wonderful symbol to show that you’re alive or feeling alive.

โŠ› Man Feeding Baby Emoji

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿผ Man Feeding Baby Emoji

Each parent has their own individual love to share with their child. Though there are some ways of showing love that is completely off the charts and abnormal, there is no specific right way to it. As special as a child is, the parent is that much unique, and ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿผ marks that parental love, in this case, fatherly love.

There’s ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿผ Motherly Care and Nourishment and the same shown by a ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿผ Gender-Neutral Parent.

Pregnant Woman Emoji

๐Ÿคฐ Pregnant Woman Emoji

The connection between a pregnant woman and the child growing within her is very similar to our connection with the earth. Humans are inseparable from the planet. Sure many hardly realize this bond and very few take the moment to savor and secure it, but it’s there, regardless. That deep and almost spiritual connection embedded in love between a pregnant lady and the child in her belly is shown with ๐Ÿคฐ.

This motherly nourishment and unmatchable love between the two is furthered after delivery with the ๐Ÿคฑ Breastfeeding Mom.

โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ Heart on Fire Emoji

A burning heart suggests burning love or blazing love, even. But, the flame here is not burning down the heart, but rather keeping it too hot to touch. โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿ”ฅ signifies that flaming passion. It could symbolize lust, infatuation, sexual tension or sexual validation, the passion between lovers, or our favorite, heartburn.

Love is one of the best emotions. Expressing, receiving, and holding it together feels right because it feels good. Even though all love is the same to some degree, we’ve compartmentalized it to a manageable level and with logical reasons. So, If you’re referring to any love, we hope this list is helpful.
