What kinds of love should we have?

Are you capable of love?

If I'm asked if I'm able to love, now I'd say I definitely am. However, what kinda love is it?
Most of us, when talking about love, it refers to a romantic relationship, don't we?

When people talk about feeling selfless when we love somebody, in this cruel world, to me, the fear of being defeated sometimes is bigger. To step into a relationship where I have to compromise many things sounds so complicated. I thought I was incapable of love. I thought it wasn't for me.

I have this little nephew who has slept at my house several times, and before he was born, I was having this cynical feeling that my household would be significantly affected, as my mom tends to spend her time with him, and I would have to give my hands as well. Cut to, he's born. This beautiful little angel stole my heart. I was willingly babysitting him, staying awake until morning, being hurried preparing his milk, holding him to sleep. These sorts of actions are only possible because I love him, and I'm willing to sacrifice, I think. I realized that my disappointment with his father has nothing to do with him; he's a pure, innocent creature that instead needs love from all of us in the family.

The same thing (in my view) goes to the way I see romantic relationships. Everything seems difficult until I found this one person that I'm willing to stay awake just to hear from him. This, too, I realized it's possible because it's him, not anyone else. Some worries that I have come from what I'm exposed to, what social media shares about others' relationships. Sometimes, I forget that I'm the author of my own story, and I have always been writing my character as someone who loves selflessly. I love not to regret. I did everything I could while I was able. I don't see being a loser means we really lose. Most of the time, I feel that satisfaction of showing my love genuinely, even though it didn't always end the way I wanted.

I'm grateful for those who came into my life and let me experience these beautiful feelings.

If not because of you guys, I'd never know the way I love.
