Lets stop thinking that loving unconditionally means tolerating mistakes.

We accept their imperfections.

We dont mind their little shortcomings.

But we should never put up with recurring, intentional mistakes they commit to.

Unconditional love sees andshouldmind but doesnt wane.

It rebukes and corrects but with care and gentleness.

Unconditional love doesnt shut our mouth.

Lets stop thinking that loving unconditionally requires our whole life.

Lets not compromise our own needs as an individual.

Lets not exhaust everything because how can we further give when we lose resources?

How can we say we can never leave them when we have left ourselves in the first place?

Its just a cycle.

We give what we have and so its better to save up.

Lets start thinking that unconditional love is something that magnifies our worth.

It means taking care of them while we take care of ourselves.

It means making them happy while making ourselves happy.

It means instilling in them the idea that we are worth given the same amount of love.

Its never one-sided as many people think.

Its never just allowing the person we love to overlook the responsibility of protecting our very own value.

Unconditional love makes us firmer, standing upon our principles, keeping our worth untainted and cherished.

And so if they still choose to leave, its not really a total loss.

We dont love unconditionally in fear of losing them.

We dont love unconditionally to seem nice.

And most especially, we dont love unconditionally just to convince them to love us back.

We love unconditionally because it is the right thing to do.

In fact, the idea ofunconditionalshould already be inherent in the idea oflove.Otherwise, its never really love.
