Because True Love Doesn’t Come with a User Manual

Love is and always will be unconditional. Too frequently, we find ourselves in relationships built on conditional love—friendships, romantic partners, and even family. Someone will “love” you if you do what they say or desire. However, when you do not match what that person wants you to be, they withdraw their “love” for you. But here’s the thing: it wasn’t love in the first place. Love isn’t conditional. Someone who genuinely loves you accepts you for who you are on the inside.

Someone’s love for you does not end because you did something they disliked. Someone will not cease loving you because they are unhappy with you or you are upset with them. Someone does not love everything they do—they have different beliefs, lives, and viewpoints that may lead to disagreements—but they do love you as a full person. They adore your soul, your essence, which is what drew them to you in the first place. Love is and will remain unconditional.

Love is unselfish: Love doesn’t believe it owns you because it understands it doesn’t. It’s not possessive. It does not become agitated when you spend time with others or yourself. It does not require your attention all the time. It doesn’t feel like you owe it anything since it offers you love. It realises that you are an individual who does not belong to anybody. Instead, love celebrates all of your small and great achievements in life. Love smiles in your face in the morning because it cares about you as a full person. When you’re feeling low, love lifts you up by reminding you of all the awesomeness you have within you and how many other people feel the same way about you. Love does not seek to possess you but to embrace you for who you are.

Love is freeing: Love wants you to be yourself. It does not dictate who you should or should not be. Love does not instruct you to behave a specific way because it is the “right” way or chastise you for doing things in the “wrong” manner. Love just exists, and it never asks you to be anything else. Love urges you to strive for growth every day while also appreciating aspects of yourself and life. Love urges you to explore and experiment with things that interest you, spend time with people who care about you, and devote your time to issues you are passionate about. Love is free, and it wants you to be free as well.

Love is forgiving: Love is always forgiving. It does not retain grudges. Love sees you as a full person and constantly takes that into consideration. It doesn’t take one aspect of you, one chapter in your life, and assess you based on such little facts. Love understands who you genuinely are inside. It understands that you make errors, damage others and yourself, and suffer in life. Love understands and accepts this as a basic human condition, and it is not there to judge; rather, it is there to provide you a hug, support, and consolation. Love constantly tries to reconnect you to your origins; it is always within reach.

Love is endless: Love is everywhere. It is not in restricted supply. It is not a little container that will “run low” or “run out.” There is an infinite quantity of love to spread to everyone. Love understands that it is the essence of life and disperses itself accordingly. Love is accessible to everyone, including you, your significant other, your family, your friends, and even strangers you encounter every day and treat with the same care you do to loved ones. Love is an endless supply and hence can never be scarce; it is and will always be present, and you may always reach out to it.

Love is life: Above all, love is the very core of existence. It exists inside ourselves, in others, and all around us. Deep down, we all have love and the potential to give it to anybody we come into contact with anywhere on Earth. Love is the fundamental component of mankind. It is what motivates us to get up in the mornings. It is what drives our daily acts. It is what determines how we live. Love exists in all civilisations, transcends species, and is present throughout the cosmos. Love is who we are, and that is all we need to know to begin living our most authentic lives.

  2. I think love is the basic component of God. I think love was meant to be the basic component of a man as well, and it does still exist inside of us, but it is tainted by this other power that runs through the universe like poison. That is sin, and it manifest in so many ways that corrupt our love.

  3. Reading this makes me rethink my own relationship. You express a lot of great points. Don’t worry, I’m not going to jump the gun. It just has me thinking, “Do I really love this person?”.
