LOVE IS:
accepting another completely regardless of the warts having the courage to confront when you know something isn't right finding just the right words and the right moment to bring up concerns about the other person as well as concerns in your relationship with that person giving hugs and/or kisses wanting to spend meaningful time with that person wanting to just BE with the other person knowing how the other with react to any given situation forgiving indiscretions giving 7X7 chances to begin again having the courage to disagree and agree to disagree having respect for the other's wishes, privacy, opinions trusting the other person wanting for the other person what they want/need for themselves as long as it's good defending/protecting the other person and what is in their best interest helping the other person become self-sufficient and independent; to be the best that they can be to think before reacting in case of disappointment or anger to exercise patience and understanding when boundaries clash be ready to be the first to say "I'm sorry" to respect the other's relationships with other people to have the courage to allow the other to be who they truly are to have the courage to let go if and when the time comes Above all, "If you think something/one is yours, set it free. If he/she comes back, they were truly yours to begin with. If he/she doesn't came back, they were never truly yours." What can you add to this list? Please feel free.

Yeah! Me, too, Direction!!!!!!
 If I told you I loved you this way, would you understand... or would you think I was critizising you? I mean, when I had to guts to confront you on something? What if you found out I was talking to someone you don't know about HOW to say things that very possibly could be hurtful if not said the right way?

Septi, we have known each other for a few years now, in the early years you have had to put me in my place a couple times, for my own good cuz I wasn't use to forums and didn't know right from wrong on supporting here, you did this out of Love, you cared enough for us to say " Stop, Listen, and Support
We love you for this Angie

Sept,
I knew as soon as I read it exactly who it was intended for actually! I hope it that person reads it and understands it completely. You are a person of great knowledge and tact and a good straight shooter. Had you been speaking to me with that 'Love' post, I would have taken every word with me towards a new relationship and looked for each point as they came to fruition. You're quite a special person September!!!! ABT

 "Thank you" doesn't seem appropriate for such kind words, ABT... but thank you just the same, from the bottom of my heart!

How boring this life would be if we always agreed with someone else. I'm happy that you respect me, but you don't HAVE to, you know!
At any rate, I'm glad that I can call you "friend".

<font color="#000088">You're welcome! I believe that Love is the most powerful thing in all of existence. So it's good that people learn to understand the true meaning of what love really is. I sure think so!

What is Love???
To me, love has no beginning and no end. It just IS! It can be as simple as smiling at the cashier who is haveing a horrible day with grumpy customers. It can be as complicated as showing someone your love who refuses to see it. It can be as easy going as 1. 2. 3. or as difficult as anything could ever be in life. What is Love? It is what I feel for everyone here who has a good day and has a bad day, who is in desperate and seeking assistance or happy and enjoying their moment! What is Love? Sometimes I just cannot explain it. Sometimes, it just IS! xoxoxo Jean |

Yet another lesson on love for me today. You CAN love someone even if you don't TRUST them.
EDIT: Reference: Sometimes I Hate Myself

September, my therapist told me that a few years ago -- that I will be able to love again even I can never again trust a male. I dunno, I'm still waiting for that day. I'm glad for your personal testimony that it can happen. Gives me hope.
