#Thats what i think love is how to#

I go back and forth between being a cynic about love and a hopeless romantic вЂ“ an often closeted hopeless romantic, but one nonetheless. But there is something about being loved by a child that can teach you that love can be simple and pure and uncomplicated.

I know that I am loved deeply by my parents and brothers and a few very good friends. Even though we are separated by oceans, I know that her love for me is honest, unwavering, and so independent of moods or motives or anything else.

Maybe itвЂ™s because she is young enough, and life hasnвЂ™t ruined love for her in the way it does for most adults. It was really that simple.ДЄnd my sisterвЂ™s love is probably some of the purest I know in the world. I was going to love her with all I had and give her everything I had to offer. Because it felt like I would do absolutely anything for her in the world. From that day, I think I knew what giving love is supposed to feel like. ItвЂ™s the only honest love at first sight I have ever experienced. I will never forget the feeling of that moment of looking at her for the first time and that sensation of pure and utter perfect love. Thirteen years later, my favorite memory and the best day of my life is still the day my sister was born.

But I think the first real lesson I learned about how to give love and not just receive love was the day I became a big sister. They always made a fuss over me and they are part of the reason that growing up, I felt very spoiled with love. And no doubt, even as a child, I knew that my brothers loved me very much. I always knew that I was loved as a child by the people I call вЂњMumвЂќ and вЂњDad.вЂќ I was also brought into the world with three older brothers as siblings. The first experience of love for most of us is from our parents.
