Radical Love: The Modern Kind of Affection

What does it mean to be in a relationship nowadays? May it be around family, friends, what we call God or superior beings and romantically, especially if we are talking about unconditional love, one of the highest kinds of love, it does not expect something in return and it is freeing. I know this will be a hard look at today's situation but let's dive in and see what is happening.

So I have listed 4 truths navigating around this topic:

Love is eternal. Remember the highest beings, you may call it God or maybe the Universe itself, has given us this life that we are enjoying right now. We must be grateful that we are given a chance to live this life here on earth, with that being said, we must be good stewards, exemplify and be a role model to future generations. Live like we are being our highest selves. We must always try to be our best. Because that is expected of us. I may sound so prophetic, but this is the hard truth and we must learn how to accept it. Living our best life isn't easy, it is hard to surpass our struggles and progress isn't going to come in in one day. It is a step-by-step process. But since we are much-loved by above, we must take accountability and take ownership of our lives, not for our selves but for another person. The point, be thankful. The way this life was given to us, the same way we must live it in a very special way.

Love is abundant. There is enough love going around for us. So if you think love is scarce, it isn't. And love is freely given and received. There may be a point in our lives where we think and felt that there is no love anymore existing in this world, think again. We were not placed in this world to be just left alone, there is a primal need for us to be loved and belong. We are made to connect, relate and share our thoughts, feelings and also resentments to another person or a group of people or community. We are meant to be with someone, to be in a fruitful relationship, to marry someone, to have a family, to watch your kids grow and mostly because we have to grow, ourselves socially. There is love, there had been love and there will always be love among us.

Love is a teacher and a parent. Why? Because it reminds us to be strong not just for our loved-ones but mainly for ourselves. If you have ever been to a challenging relationship, you have had a lot of takeaways, lessons, and growth. It teaches us that there is not a one-way street to any relationship. We are being tapped that we are fully capable of moving-on and accept that another person needs to grow as well on their own. We have to learn how to let go in some ways even though it is hard, we are being put to the test to stand firm like a parent and do what is best for any situation possible.

Love works from the inside out. The love that we give to another person starts from within. Take note that what we put out there is the reflection of ourselves. What we are is what we share with somebody. So, if you are trying to be someone else, quit it and try to shower and enrich what you are, honestly. What we take in, our foods, the exercise, our mindset, our beliefs, and our thoughts are what make us. Make sure what you take in is helpful and useful and what will only benefit us because that is exactly what we are going to share with our loved ones. We have to be mindful of what we are doing, make sure that is it is beneficial for ourselves because again that is what we are going to impart to someone else.

In the end, we have to keep living our best self because we are also giving out our best love.
