Love

To be brave is to love someone unconditionally,
without expecting anything in return.
To just give. That takes courage,
because we don't want to fall on our faces
or leave ourselves open to hurt.
~Madonna


Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give, which is everything.
~Katharine Hepburn


I really like both of these quotes, the message is close to my heart. I think, though, that in addition to loving someone else completely we must love ourselves unconditionally. Otherwise, how can we truly embrace who the other person is? I think that both of these are about very best friends or sisters, not just a Significant Other.

It all starts with us sis...loving ourselves. Until that happens how can we truly love another unconditionally? We have to be our own best friend...stand beside ourselves till the end :) Then we will allow those in our life that love us the same and what we can offer them.

I love you sis....

ps....beautiful updates :)
