What's up with unconditional love?

To have a deep, connective and intimate love, we have to at some point peel off our masks and unveil our truth. Because under it all, our hearts are beautiful. What’s not beautiful is blaming, defensiveness, perfectionism, stonewalling (ignoring).

If my needs of unconditional love were never met as a child, I’m in fear that they never will be (by someone else) and I think what I’ve learned is that they may not be. 

In life, a parent's love can seem quite conditional. And some people are just easier to leave than to love. And then there are some, that no matter what they do, you just love them anyway. It’s crazy. 

But here’s the best part. YOU can love unconditionally. Don’t expect others to, but you can. I think first, it takes a real deep unconditional love of yourself, and then someone really special in your heart.

Sigh. 

Google says: Unconditional love, simply put, is love without strings attached. It's love you offer freely. You don't base it on what someone does for you in return. You simply love them and want nothing more than their happiness. This type of love, sometimes called compassionate or agape love, might sound somewhat familiar.

So this means, we can’t hold on or be held onto. Regardless of what happens, just love anyway. I'm thinking of that quote, when you love something set it free, if it comes back it was meant to be...

It means you heal the issues that surround you both, and you still want to love them.

This isn’t as easy as it sounds, but I’ve done it, so if it’s true for me, it can be true for you. When you have so much love in your own heart, all you want to do is give it away. Because you know, with that love, you’ll always be OK.

Now go love like dogs. Without condition. 😜
