Just because someone is my uncle, friend, husband, mother, father, sister, brother in law, cousin doesn’t mean I should have unconditional love for them, based on that particular label.
What has that person done, for me to love them?
What value has that person added in my life, for me to love them?
Have they continued to show up for me and been there for me, for me to love them?
Have they respected me and my words and boundaries, for me to love them?
Just the label is not enough to love them.
(Please read that again.)
You have to put in the effort and show up for me, for me to love you.
