True~Love

We cannot force people to love us or be faithful to us. People change and evolve; for better or worse. Either the attractions or feelings towards one another are still there or they just aren't for whatever reason, regardless of how we try to whip our minds around it.

Grandparent's love is not unlike a dog or a pet; you could do no wrong. Hence Parent-Kid 'Tude adjustments begin immediately once excessively spoiling Grandpas' leave visiting the nest. There is only one level of true love like this with unfiltered loyalty; unchanged forever more.

The whole-hearted concept of unconditional love that we find in Grandparents and even our faithful family dog.

How do we cope when this love leaves our lives? Do we hold on to it through cherished memories or short stories featuring favorite times; do we seek it in other familiar places? What actions do we, or should we take to feel that love again?

Human couples go through many stages. That's why communication is the top priority within relationships. The "Wonder what he's thinking ~ Wonder what she's thinking," is often an inherent ploy within relationships: Kind of a dodge ball 'Walking on Eggshells' routine to inadvertently get to the bottom of issues.

If someone you've Long~Loved, but you are now not necessarily In-Love with, chooses to betray - disrespect or mistreat us - the very best thing we can do is walk away. Leaving someone we love is never easy, often being the reason for sticking around to bite your tongue and endure your small battles; it could be worse. But cultivating the appreciation of our self-worth is the greatest gift of all.
