love love love.

So, I'm not going to start out by defining Valentine's Day or anything. I'm sure we all understand the day and why it is what it is.

However, since Valentine's Day has to do with love, it always makes me reflect on how glad I know how to unconditionally love. That I had overcome various emotional obstacles, forgave, and learned to truly unconditionally love someone. I grew up with a conditional father (who had a very conditional mother) and a grandmother who was very conditional. It wasn't until I was about 15/16 years of age that I had realized I grew up this way. I started to evaluate how I was toward people and realized that how I treated my mother and a couple other people closest was on a conditional level. Through a lot of writing, evaluation, therapy, and reflecting out loud to my mother I was able to overcome this.

So, since today has to do with love, this is how I like to celebrate my Valentine's Day. That I can love unconditional and continually learn how to love other people unconditionally just as I am loved by Him unconditionally.

Happy Valentine's Day!
