Love...the hard way
Some people are hard to love. They are combative and difficult without cause. No matter how much you pour into them, it doesn't resonate. Like a bucket with a hole in it. They will in turn drain you for your happiness, love, and patience. Some days it will feel like all the love that you're giving them is in vain. Love then becomes more of a selfish act, then selfless. You want that love in return and you just pour and pour. Soon that bucket will overflow and you and that person are left confused. You've taught them love, and they have taught you resistance. Embrace it and take the easy route-love yourself and others will follow. What you put into the universe will always return to you.
Love. Live. Action.
1. Understand that the persons lack of love or reciprocity, has NOTHING to do with you.
