There are many forms of love in our lives including love for our family and friends or even the practice of self-love.
To me, this quote is about challenging us to accept others as they are. Not to control what they do, or what they wear, or how they speak or act, but to view them as they are, and love them for their uniqueness, and the qualities that only THEY have.
It's loving without judgement, or without trying to mold them into a person we think they should be, rather just appreciating them as the individual they are.
So many of us try to become someone we think others want us to be, and we move further and further away from the person we really are, or from what we want to do. It's hard when there are so many pressures out there to fit a mold, and the reality is that all of us, no matter our background, really just want to be loved.
I believe that the people who really love you and accept you for who you are will be there for you when you speak your truths and follow your heart. ❤️💛🤍💚
