"When we truly love someone, we accept the person for who he or she is. This is the same as the unconditional love we talk about between a mother and her child. There is never a reason; we just love. When the time and person is right, we feel it deep within ourselves and nothing known physically to man can ever explain it. True love or unconditional love is unconditional acceptance of a person no matter what their actions dictate; but it does not mean unconditional acceptance of their actions; just the person.We know that people change and their actions evolve over time. We have faith in them because we see in them a them that they themselves cannot see. Love, in a relationship, is accepting them for who they are while expecting them to be the best they can be for themselves; not for you. Loving them is never about you; its about them. "

This is one of those things where you have to experience to know. It's not easy. You would think being in love would be all dandy like the books and movies make it out to be, but it's not. There's always a big price to pay. Sorry, just how I've been feeling lately.
