Does love at first sight exist? I’m not sure…I’ve never experienced it before. Can you fall in love with a stranger? That’s never happened to me before either. But then again, do you need to know everything about someone to love them? Sometimes you can know someone for years and still not know everything about them, because there are so many layers and sides and secrets to each person.

I used to think maybe it was stupid for me to love someone that’s practically a stranger to me. I used to think maybe I only liked the idea of him, and not who he really is. And I used to think maybe if I found out more about him, then it would burst my bubble and I would realize he wasn’t right for me afterall.

But then I realized I’ve already accepted him for who he was. I knew enough about him to know that I do love him…everything about him and even the things I don’t know yet. And isn’t that what unconditional love means? Unconditional love is loving the person for who they are, regardless of their qualities and actions. That is not loving everything they do, whether its right or wrong. But loving them despite the fact that they can make mistakes. And loving them despite the fact that they’re not perfect.

A mother will love her child regardless. She doesn’t need to wait and find out what kind of a person her baby becomes. She will love her baby from the beginning until the very end.

And so I’ve learned another one of life’s lessons. Love doesn’t depend on how much or how little you know someone. Love just happens.
