Loving unconditionally, is a wonderful gift that you can give to yourself and others.
It is important, to learn, and really understand, your own definition of love, before you can know if you love unconditionally or not.
It doesn't mean holding onto someone forever. Letting go, doesn't mean that you DO NOT love someone.
I have come on here, for years now, and read people. I have read words to the effect that people are waiting for the love to end, waiting for it to stop, so that they can move forward with their life. It always saddens me a bit.
Love doesn't end. It may change. It may get quiet and put in a little space all it's own in your heart and mind, but it doesn't end.
It can be replaced, with anger, hurt, and eventually hatred and bitterness, but it doesn't just go away.
Ask yourself...
When a pet or person you loved dies, does your love die?
Or do you have smiles when you think of them? Happy memories? Little good feelings in your being?
That is love. It is still there.
It is no different in these situations.
The choice we make, the choice we are faced with, is do we allow ourselves to still feel that, or do we get ourselves so worked up, so filled with the negative crap, that we let it turn into bitterness?
I know which choice I made.
To love.
It doesn't hurt me to do so.
It allows me, to accept people for who they are, faults and all...
How do you define love?
Sorry for getting all fluffy bunny...
It's early
