Unconditional
This blog has been sentimental, critical, pensive, obnoxious, overwrought, and at times pretentious. With a steady diet of wit and sly remarks, sometimes it's important to remember there are other parts of the blogging pyramid. So grab a fork. here comes some cheese.
Unconditional love is just that- unconditional. When life is easy and loved ones are ideal, the whole unconditional thing doesn't really come into play. It's hard not to love the star athlete or valedictorian. It's hard to fight back tears of joy when Johnny walks across the stage at graduation with a full ride in his back pocket and a sparkle in his eye...
The trouble comes when there's room to improve. Much to be desired. A step back. A hurdle. When perfect isn't perfect and Unconditional is harder to say than it used to be.
But tests are meant to be passed. Bars are meant to be cleared. Love isn't tested, isn't true, without hurdles. It's easy for That Guy to see why he's loved- shit, he hasn't done anything to be unloved... but when shit hits the fan, when ideal may not be ideal.... that's when love shows it's true colors.
When empty, cliched words actually mean something.
unconditionally.
