Caramel Contemplation

I just finished watching one of the most beautiful wedding videos ever! I mean, like, EVER! And if you don't know by now, I am not about that life! Show me anything to do with love, or something like it, and I am liable to get into my car and drive to the next town! This was stunning though, and, I hate to admit it, kinda inspirational...

Getting back to reality, however, the particular video in question made me ponder upon something that I come across every now and then - the concept of unconditional love. In many a wedding that I have attended, oftentimes this topic seems to come up in vows and scriptures but really and truly, does unconditional love actually exist? I can only speak for myself and this is what I think about this whole thing...

A man is out of his damn mind and must be batshit crazy if he thinks that I'm gonna love his ass unconditionally! Unless you're Jesus or my baby, ain't no way in hell I can love you unconditionally. And that's just me keeping it real (as per usual).

I have never met a male being on this earth who has not let me down or hurt me in some way and as a result, being but a mere mortal myself, such devotion to another adult is not possible. Why? Because a nigga will inherently fuck up and my fragile heart will inevitably get trampled over. Now I'm not saying that I can't love with my whole heart or love with my entire being but I'm sorry dear, my love comes with conditions... Honesty, loyalty, consideration, admiration, patience and above all, respect, that's what's on my list! And the only way I can love another person without condition is if they were born from my very womb, simply because I can't put a condition of something or someone I made myself.

Maybe I'll fall in love again and maybe I will have the urge to love without condition but God gave me a brain for a reason and I shall utilize it accordingly.

Unconditional love? Gerrouttaherr!
