Tonight, I choose to write about an unconditional love. Last night, I talked on the phone to a man who understands me the best, who has been with me through my ups and downs, who can look through me in the eyes and I could see love and affection in his eyes reflecting mine, the man who accepts me for who I am as I undergone many different silly phases..
You see, sometimes, it is easy to overlook these small things that make you happy - these small things, like him peeling me oranges because, I simply dont like the actual peeling and I just have to have him to peel for me, for me to eat. :/ That's the very reason why I dont eat oranges if I am not around him, because oranges remind me of him. You see, I miss him. =.= And despite my silliness, he loves me too. All my imperfections. Everything. And accepting me the way I really am. That, ladies and gentlemen, is unconditional love.
He, who never gets angry at me even over the mistakes that I made (and yes. I make a lot of mistakes.) He, who never judge me. He, who knows the way I really think. He, who tastes my horrible cooking and still believes that I have a superb culinary skill. He, who has seen me in my grubbiest outfit and my messiest hair and still reassures me that I look beautiful. He, the only person I know who loves soto as much as I do and know exactly how I eat my bowl of hot soto.
You see what I am doing now? I am listing all of my dad's qualities. And as I list them out here, I wonder.. I really do wonder, will I, one day, finally meet someone who is just as awesome as he is?
All of my 22 years of life, I have never had dad to ask me to change. He just accepts me for who I am, smelly pillow and annoying habits and all .. I am still his dearest little girl. Do you know what that is? That is, unconditional love. Again. Ive been typing that phrase a lot hurh? But really, unconditional love is something that is hard to come by. I am not sure whether one day, I will find something that is even remotely equal to that.
Do you know what hurts the most? The opposite of that - the conditional affection. Heck. I dont even know why people sometimes say that they care, when it means having bullet points of conditions. Why is that huh? If you care about a person, you care everything about the person - and you definitely wont ask the person to change for your supposedly 'affection'.. isnt it? Isnt it selfish of you to ask someone to change for you? And, I never ask you to change. So, why do you?
There are so many thoughts running through my mind right now. Sigh. Anyway, tomorrow, I will be leaving for wellington for nearly a week. So that means I wont be floating around much on the net for the next few days. Hrm. Might as well I guess.. Call it a reprieve - I need a break. To finally sort my thoughts out.
