The True Meaning Of Unconditional Love
Fine Art America

"Unconditionallove is known as affection without any limitations, it can also be love without conditions. This term is sometimes associated with other terms such as true altruism, or complete love. Each area of expertise has a certain way of describing unconditional love, but most will agree that it is that type of love which has no bounds and is unchanging."

I never truly understood "unconditional love" until my grandmother passed away. I love her more than words can express, but I did not really know what that meant until her funeral. I remember telling my husband, "That's what unconditional love is...even though I can not physically be with or see my grandmother, that does not change my love for her, nor her love for me."

This type of love reminds me of the expression, A MOTHER'S LOVE. No matter the situation or circumstance, an average mother's love sees no limits when it comes to her child. She would do anything for her child and sometimes it does lead into whenever they become an adult and eventually a parent. From my own experience with my son, unconditional love never changes.

This is the same love as God gives to us, His children. Parents are able to see how God loves us by experiencing a moment of it with their own children.

So, I encourage you all to cherish your mothers. This may be a constant theme for me in my posts, but I can not stress it enough. Your mothers/grandmothers/stepmothers are not always going to be there, whether it is with a situation or dealing with life. CHERISH every second, ever moment, every defeat, every victory.

You only have but a moment with them.

- A Mother Knows.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
