Donovan Sharpe REALLY just gave me the right kick in the ass I needed, by breaking down the desire to be loved unconditionally for the weak ass bullshit that it is.

He's right. Unconditional love is reserved only for family and pets. People don't love each other unconditionally. They just don't. Let's be real: NOBODY BUT YOUR FAMILY AND PETS LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY and vice versa.
If you want to be loved and respected, you have to take responsibility for earning it and keeping it, because both are ABSOLUTELY conditional.
I've been angry for quite some time, because I didn't want to take responsibility for not having properly earned the love and respect I've wanted. And this "unconditional love" BS only gives unrealistic expectations. My spiritual seeking has lead to much talk of unconditional love and that hasn't helped matters any.
And conditional love brings out the best in men. Those of us wanting unconditional love are just not taking responsibility for ourselves. This man speaks the truth and his brutal honesty is opening my eyes. Men looking for unconditional love are weak, and I just allowed myself to be weak because I didn't want the responsibility of being strong. And that needs to change.
Basically, f*** unconditional love.
And f*** sitting around moping about the love and respect I didn't put in the work to properly EARN.
I have GOT to get off of my ass. I have got to take responsibility.
