Love! Books have been written, civilizations destroyed and fortunes lost over the concept! I may have an odd concept but the way I see it one loves but is not in control of who one loves. My concept may be a bit different.  I don’t love many.  I can think of only about 5 or 6 people I could say I love. Why I love them I have no idea: its very complicated.  I believe there are several ways one can love and one is sexual, another is platonic and there are actually numerous subsets that would stump a trasactional analysis guru.

I love but I do onto necessarily have to have someone love me back. There are people I love who may not even care for me, but that doesn’t enter into the equation. I love someone because of a connection I can not define.  I don’t love many people but the ones I do I love unequivocally. At times they even treat me poorly but that doesn’t reduce the love .

I may have to distance myself because of the nature of the relationship. Some relationships are destructive and toxic. I have pride and I have sense of accomplishment so if someone doesn’t care for me it doesn’t matter: I’m pretty contented with how I developed as a human. How can you love someone if you don’t love yourself?  Relationships are not bilateral contracts that’s why one gets hurt when one is rejected: they are strictly unilateral.

So, I love you but if you don’t like me it’s ok!
