We desire to be loved deeply, truly and unapologetically as we are. Exactly as we are. We seek to be seen by others as a validation of that love and an extension of our identity. We yearn for our burdens to be shared, especially when our knees begin to buckle at the weight on our shoulders. We want the kind of love that shields us from the gust of the outside world. The love that laughs and dances even when no joke has been shared nor music played.
We seek all that but are we truly capable of providing this kind of love?
Can love flourish outside ego?
Can love be unconditional, if it comes with conditions?
I am learning and accepting that people can only love to the capacity of their perception.
When people can reject or withhold love because of something as trivial as identity, or when people’s love is based on what they think you should be doing, even when people’s love is based on exchange obligation. This level of love is on them especially so if you are capable of loving these people despite of the things.
I am learning that unconditional selfless self love is the greatest force, once you begin to love yourself as you truly are. Like no one has ever walked a day in your shoes, how can they know how to love you unconditionally when they are incapable of loving themselves.
I am accepting that the external stuff should serve as the cherry on top, not the substance by which self worth is measured.
There will always be a reason as to why someone has justified to withhold love. Let go and let God. She knows what she is doing.
