Love is not “sometimes, under certain conditions.” Love is “always, no matter what.” You can’t love somebody one day and then not love them the next.

That’s not love. That’s attraction. And it’s important to realize the difference between an attraction and distraction. We say “I love you” but sometimes it means “I love you when you look good and dress nice and don’t make mistakes.”

Thank you for highlighting the difference between blatant attraction and love. I think people feel empty when they aren't loved. And in desperation, they go for makeovers, workouts, manicures, plastic surgeries, wanting to be loved, but they don’t realize that what they would get after that is not love, its just attraction, its just lust. Its “I love you because you look good, dress nice and don’t make mistakes”. Never love. Yet what they actually wanted was just love, being loved when they wake up groggy-eyed with bad morning breath, dress in dowdy old shirt and pants and make a few stumbles in life.

Considered yourself blessed and lucky if you know you are being loved, always, no mater what.
