True love – a feeling that everyone wants to experience.
Everyone wants to cherish.
Everyone wants to be surrounded by.
When we talk about love, it’s not just about romantic love. It surpasses every relationship we can think of. Parental love, for example, is one such affectionate connection.
While discussing love, we often come across the term true love. True love is that deep attachment which involves no judgment, no expectations, no desires, but only trust, care, and commitment. It’s about accepting a person for who they are and what they are.
The deepest feeling
The noblest emotion
That knows no worldly bounds.
True love loses its meaning when it gets chained to expectations. When expectations replace emotions, love fails.
Open communication, support, & integrity are crucial to a relationship and are its utmost requirements, but they don’t imply control, dependence & validation. Placing demands and conditions in a relationship makes the love conditional, which may become exhausting over time.
Conditional love takes away bliss
And gives frustration and pain in return.
Unconditional love encourages –
Acceptance, Understanding, and Harmony between lovers.
True love is selfless. But unconditional love shouldn’t be mistaken for enduring abuse. Proper boundaries should be set for maintaining self-respect and preserving one’s personal identity. Loving someone does not mean you need to sacrifice your own dreams or diminish your self-worth.
True love never benefits only one person. It helps both individuals grow in their lives. It makes them realise their true potential. It encourages them to accept their flaws and emerge as better people. It gives them a chance to evolve together. It instills positivity and broadens their outlook towards life.
True love is all about finding a middle path between obsession and altruism. A relationship without love becomes an obligation.
I believe that achieving true love is not impossible. It needs a little effort from both partners and a clear boundary between needs and desires. Love does not grow strong in a day. It takes a long time to build dedication and strong belief.
So, all you need to do is –
Take small steps
Start being adaptable
Learn to forget the trivial issues.
Forgo your ego and insecurity and try to develop a mutual understanding. Focus on the combined well-being rather than your personal gains. Encourage communication and show your support through your actions, especially during difficult phases.
True love is not a destination.
It’s a journey.
