Learning to love in a healthy way. One that’s not rooted in neediness or emptiness or manipulation. We are taught that love has to have conditions. I’m realizing love isn’t about conditions, it’s about boundaries. That there are different ways to love a person fully but still recognize that their inability to accept my love means i have to have parameters for that love. I can love someone and pray for them, and have no communication with them. I can love a person and be kind to them, while understanding they cannot love me back like i love them, and create that boundary to prevent myself from getting too close to that person because not everyone is privileged to have that kind of Intimacy with me.
