Some people aren’t concerned about the welfare of others, while others are only concerned with the happiness of others; which one are you? Do you genuinely care about your friends, or are they just a means to getting what you want? True love is about giving of yourself and not expecting anything in return. It’s a remarkable quality in someone when they’re more worried about you than they are about themselves. I am grateful for the friends I have who genuinely love me and take the time to show me. And whenever I meet someone who seems unable to give of themselves, I’m reminded of those in my life who endlessly give me the greatest gifts of all: their time, their love, and their dedication to giving me something to smile about each and every day. So, thank you to those who live up to the definition of love; you know who you are, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. ~M xo
