Love Someone Unconditionally…To be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return.
Unconditional love, simply put, is love without strings attached. It’s love you offer freely. Wanting someone to love you for yourself — no matter what — is an understandable desire. You don’t base it on what someone does for you in return. You simply love them and want nothing more than their happiness.
