Hey L,
If you were ever to poll the people in your social circles, you’d likely find that most of them grew up believing they were loved, at least on some level.
And maybe they were. Maybe you were.
But there’s a few questions worth asking that most people never think to ask…
- Was that love consistent?
- Was it safe?
- Or did it come with conditions?
Because those are very different things. And the difference matters more than you might think.
Recognize that unconditional love is simple to define. It’s the “I love you just because.” Because you exist. Because you’re mine. Because nothing you do or don’t do changes how I feel about you.
It doesn’t require performance.
It doesn’t disappear when you fail. It’s not something you earn and it’s not something you can lose. It’s just there. Steady. Reliable. Safe.
Conditional love works differently. It’s the “I love you if” or “I love you when.” I love you when you behave. I love you if you succeed. I love you when you make me proud. I love you if you stay small enough not to threaten me.
The love is real in its way, but it’s attached to something. And that something is always just out of reach.
Here’s what most people don’t realize.
