#ASK_MAYA [From My Inbox] Dear Famous Oneisma Maya, Good men are hard to come by, and I suppose good women are aswell. Ive heard you speak about love, and am wondering what your true definition of love is? —Irene #My_reply » Great question, Irene. My answer might be a bit romantic… but it’s how I see it. Love — REAL love — is the connection you feel when someone sees the YOU of you—your imperfections, your challenges, your issues, your peccadillos. And they not only accept you for who you are—without judgement or attempts to make you fit some preconceived mold—they inspire you to become even more…to grow into a better version of yourself. You don’t want to grow and become more *for* them, you simply want to be better so you can share your better self *with*them. They don’t feel the need to keep or control you, because they recognize that they not only don’t want to… they shouldn’t need to, so they don’t. They don’t project their past experiences on you because—although they might have experienced relationship challenges with others in the past—they realize that you are your own unique person…and you are not their past; you are their future. They respect that you are in charge of yourself, and they trust you because they trust them selves.You would never intentionally hurt them, lie to them, or belittle them because they are a part of you… a part of your experience in life… and by treating them poorly, you would essentially be hurting, lying, or belittling yourself. If youre in real love, you know how to give love *and* how to receive it… because you know that you are valuable and deserve it. And they want you to know it, also… from them… because they also feel that connection and want to show how you matter for no other reason than you… are YOU... and they just want to be close to the way you see and experience the world. ____________ Ask and get the answer(love advise) I always respond to all your questions personally although it takes time due to the number or questions i receive every week. -maya
