Today I sat with one of my dogs (Terry), he has always been a sensitive dog and could tell if you wanted to laugh, play, eat, watch movies or just sit in silence. He laid at my feet, making sure his head was placed on my foot so I could rub on it. It calmed me for a minute, helped me gather my thoughts and then in all my roaming thoughts, I thought about Love… Unconditional Love and what it actually means. I don’t mean the “lie” you tell your sugar daddy to get that new car or phone from him, or the one you tell husband/wife during a great bout of sex or when they do something you like and no it’s not the type you tell that your partner out of duty so he or she can respond “I love you-tube” In all my years here, I have only ever experienced unconditional love from 3 sources but I will talk about 2. One of it is from my dogs, no matter how much I spank them for foiling my carpet, or tearing up not so important papers, They are Always genuinely Happy whenever they see me, i mean Always, it doesn’t matter to them if they last saw me five minutes ago, they would wag their tails and try to jump on my body so I could carry them.
The second is from Children, they love you regardless of what you do and are always truly happy to see you except you are an abusive parent and even in cases of abuse, children tend to blame themselves and not the parent, they will constantly seek validation and love from their parents.
And then; the real question surfaced, At what point did we begin to require gratuity before we love? What stage of our lives did we decide to only love after we have received love or something else in return. Because if we are truthful to ourselves, this our new plan, e no dey work at all!
Our generation has the highest amount of real love starved individuals.
Everyone has a baggage, a stabbing pain in their heart from failed love situations.
