Love With All Your Heart But Please Don't Be A Martyr

eurekafemme @eurekafemme (5874) • Philippines 17 Nov 09

Love unconditionally, as the wise men would say. But loving unconditionally does not mean martyrdom or foolishness. Loving unconditionally, in my own opinion is giving all your love without expecting to be love in the way you have...

Are you willing to sacrifice your own happiness for him/her to be happy?
