Space for Brabus

I went to confession the other day and the priest told me that the root of my problem is that I have to learn to love unconditionally.

But I don’t think I can.

Because messages that are not returned, answers that are below expectation, not being able to be together…those things hurt, really hurt.

We tried to love unconditionally…but we want it to be returned, in the same way we have been loving.  Because we are not play things, because nothing in return means they have let go, because silence is lonely and scary.

Forgive me father for I have sinned, for I have failed to love unconditionally and hope that someone will love me unconditionally instead.

Amen.
