5 essentials to unconditional love by robzred
1) Respect = This is so important because it gives value and importance to oneself.
2) Trust = Not the condom. Important in a way that it builds the walls of the relationship. Trust is an easy word to define but giving trust is remarkably difficult. Trust can be in an instant or it can take a long time to grow. It is a matter of treasuring one's trust so that the trust will not fade nor be broken.
3) Friendship = Remember your first date or the time you felt that you liked the person when you were still friends? It is the rush of butterflies in your tummies that you're feeling every time you're with the person you love. It is keeping the friendship that keeps this feelings alive. The secrets, chats, talks, funny gestures and being with each other gives us the feeling of euphoria. It is also when we can say that the one we love is also our bestfriend.
4) Individuality = Hmm, you might think that this is funny and why the hell did i mention this. For me, it is also important to have this so we can somehow be with ourselves, we can be with our families, we can also be with our peers and have fun with them. Giving her space to be with her family or her girl friends and growing with them makes a relationship healthy because she wont feel that she's left out. I don't wanna give her friends the notion that i am choking her. She's my world that is why i am not closing her entirely to myself but instead i'm opening my world so everyone can see what a beautiful world i have.
5) Love = This goes last. I think we all know about love. Love is important since it is the heart of the relationship.
i always thought of this line as a good one when i was still young "i love because i love" but you see loving someone is easy, loving unconditionally is not. For me, if you're gonna do a short cut lets say choosing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you will still end up with a conditional love. It is accepting who you are, what you love doing and what you will be, loving and accepting you at your worst and loving you more at your best. This is unconditional love. Just wanna share this thought to you guys since this is my experience. My two cents!
