Unconditional love isn’t something you have to earn.
It doesn’t come with rules or conditions.
It doesn’t disappear when things get hard.
It’s love that stays.
Unconditional love is choosing someone even on the days they’re not their best. It’s showing grace instead of keeping score. It’s loving without constantly reminding someone of their mistakes or holding the past over their head.
And honestly, unconditional love isn’t easy.
It takes patience. It takes understanding. It takes forgiveness, even when it hurts. It’s loving someone for who they are, not who you hope they’ll become.
But I’ve also learned this: unconditional love does not mean accepting disrespect, pain, or neglect. It doesn’t mean losing yourself or shrinking to keep someone else comfortable. Sometimes unconditional love looks like distance. Sometimes it looks like choosing peace. Sometimes it looks like finally choosing yourself.
I’ve learned that it starts within.
How I talk to myself.
How I forgive myself.
How I show myself grace on the days I feel like I fall short.
When you learn to love yourself without conditions, you stop begging for love from the wrong people. You stop settling. You stop questioning your worth.
If you’re longing for unconditional love, please hear this—you’re not asking for too much. You deserve a love that feels safe, steady, and real. A love that doesn’t make you doubt yourself.
And until that love finds you or even if it already has, give it to yourself first.
