Being up in the middle of the night listening to love songs, makes you contemplate life.
Undeniably.
I feel like I'm at this place in my life that I feel that I can love truly, sincerely and unconditionally with everything I have. Thing is, everyone has the potential to, but we are not always aware that we are not maximising it, perhaps because we're constantly being fed the idea of love as being perfect, reciprocated and rewarding in the wrong ways.
Can love be completely unconditional and selfless?
Yes. But only if you learn to embrace it.
Loving someone and not knowing if that person loves me back, used to kill me on the inside, because as obvious as it is, everyone wants to be loved back especially by the person they love. But this is a cognitive belief that I have lately challenged because the reinforcement of loving someone should not come from the reciprocation of love but rather the wellbeing of the person you love.
It is easier said than done, yes.
Because I have always said that I can live with not being loved as long as the person I love is happy. But could I really? No.
It's probably a concept that requires a lot of unlocking of doors in the mind. But once you get there, I guarantee that you will face the raw, genuine and wholesome feeling of true love. And as I said in my last blog post, nothing fuels a Libra more than that.
True love is then perhaps a state of mind, a state of accepting and unconditional giving.
Well, for me, at least.
