I think this thing we refer to as "true love" is a combination of many loves.
Some get it from one person. Some get it from a few. Others get it from a stadium full of fans.
Whatever it is to you, it fills you up. It makes you feel whole. Books have been written about it. Battles fought. Lives lost, even to the still living.
Since my life feels like being wrapped in an unending everlasting Righteous Brothers style love, I realise I am one of the lucky ones. It wasn't always that way or I wasn't always aware it was.
Take it in. Breathe it. Walk it. Swim in the salty waters of all the loving tears. Don't waste it.
Let the people who love you express that. Let it soak in like warm monsoonal rain. Let it be.
It might not be a partner. Maybe your folks suck. It could be your children always scream at you. I don't know.
Just take the good bits and realise that true love is unconditional, unending and effortless love.
