I have a hard time with unconditional love. I know for a fact that I do not unconditionally love my mother, or my grandmother. There are only two people who I see myself loving unconditionally, and they are my younger brother, and the boy who I'm "dating". No matter what either of those boys do I always think of why they did it, not how it's unacceptable. No matter what the situation is, I take their sides. And any pain they feel hurts me, and makes me want to forever care for them and make it go away. There have also been times where I have made mistakes with them and unintentionally hurt them, and it is the worst I have ever felt emotionally in my life.

Unconditional love is a hard thing to give out, because if it isn't accepted, what do we do with it? If we're rejected in our unconditional love, we can't just say "Oops, never mind then. I guess I don't love you." I'm lucky enough to have not been rejected in my love, and to know that no matter what, these people will always be in my life, even if it isn't in the way I could have hoped.
