Love

Love is a Promise, and Love - Real Love - is Enough. You cannot love another into loving you because that is manipulation, and love cannot be bought. True Love is NOT reciprocal - Reciprocal Love is Transactional Love; "give and take," "may kapalit" at may "return of investments." That is a business transaction. Love simply glows through all hell; without witness, without reward. Love is the purest, softest and truest force in the universe that heals not just your own traumas and fears, but the fears and traumas of others. Love never keeps score. Loves that fade and die were never loves at all; Love does not forget - it cradles, into forever. But the most tragic part of love is this - you can only and truly give love, if you are able to have love for yourself. Otherwise, you'd just be begging for love and trying to live up to others' expectations, while withering your own.
