Being a therapist, I find ways to expose myself to different ideas, so my home page on firefox has a variety of news feeds and quoteable quotes.. This one caught my eye:
I love you.
It’s not a weight you must carry around.
I love you.
It’s not a box that holds you in.
I love you.
It’s not a standard you have to bear.
I love you.
It’s not a sacrifice I make.
I love you.
It’s not a pedestal you are frozen upon.
I love you.
It’s not an expectation of perfection.
I love you.
It’s not my life’s whole purpose (or your’s).
I love you.
It’s not to make you change.
I love you.
It’s not even to make you love me.
I love you.
It’s as pure and simple as that. Anonymous
It struck me as significant because so often there is an agenda to loving someone–and that is accompanied by feelings of disappointment, anger and betrayal when someone doesn’t deliver the (hidden) expectations. So often, a person isn’t even aware of these expectations–they catch both by surprise.
Love lavishly, freely, joyfully.
