i think i have been too naive all this while.
maybe there is no such thing as unconditional love in the secular world.
people change. people love you differently if you have changed.
people love you less because you have done them wrong.
people love you more because you have done them good.
i thought unconditional love means loving without condition;
to love even if you are hurt, even if you are angry, even if the person in question is mean/disgusting/hurtful/irritating etc. to love them the same- or maybe more, but no less.

i will admit that it's not easy. it is so hard for me to love my brother the same after he has read the contents of my diary. it is so very difficult for me to forgive and love a friend who has betrayed my trust. maybe there are just too many people who have been too horrible to deserve unconditional love. or maybe there are too many people who don't love deeply enough. either way, this world is a sad place.

before you think i have turned completely cynical, no- i haven't.
i still believe that one form of unconditional love exists, aside from God's.
that is parental love.
i know my parents will always love me. they don't even have to tell me or do anything to show it. because in my heart i have this confidence that they always will. unconditionally.

maybe i don't deserve unconditional love but i do know i am loved.
so let that be enough.
