love 💙

This topic has come up in a few of my sessions, time and time again.  Unconditional Love.  Whether it be romantic relationships, platonic relationships, parental relationships, etc., how do you love?  What does your love say about you?  How do you embody your love?

Unconditional love

Not dependent on conditions (not to be confused or misconstrued with boundaries)

Being there for someone when it’s not convenient 

No quid-pro-quo, no tit for tats

Bad breath/Stinky farts are allowed, your imperfect self is welcomed

You are allowed to be as underwhelming or overwhelming as you are, come as you are

No records of “right” or “wrong”

Words match action 

No bartering for love

Invested in you and the you that you are becoming

The love is still real even after a break-up (thus, while you may not be together, you want what is best for the person, even if it is not you)

The love never changes after long periods of not communicating (i.e., adult friendships)

The love isn’t self-centered, definitely not just about me me me me
