I think there’s different kinds of admiration, lust, obsession, or care that can be confused with love. 

But love doesn’t waiver. 

It’s where you’re the most vulnerable, honest, raw. But, it’s also where you’re the safest. 

It can be exciting. 

It can be fleeing. 

It can be held down by large roots that hold it steady. 

It’s consistent. 

Through the ups and downs, the triumph and losses, it’s there. 

It can end in heart ache, or last forever. 

Conditional or unconditional. 

It’s where acceptance, respect, value, and accountability stand tall. 

When they are broken, fragile, or deceived…the heartbreak feels unbearable.

But when the love is there, safe, real, genuine. Its incomparable. 

A good mother’s love for her child and the child’s love back, is the strongest. An unbreakable love full of so much emotions. Because they’re safe in this love.

Love is selfishly selfless.
