Compassion.

Yet another quote caught my attention recently.


This time it was from Frieda Kahlo.


In essence she told her husband, if I have to ask for something, I don't want it.


At first I was miffed.


Then drawn to it.


She then proceeded to explain herself.


If I have to ask for a kiss, I don't want it.


If I have to ask for an apology, I don't want it.


If I have to ask for attention, I don't want it.


If I have to ask for compassion, I don't want it.


If I have to ask for a hug, I don't want it.


Because the truth is, is that someone who truly loves me won't make me ask.


They will just know.


Furthermore they will just do.


How true.


How sadly and completely true.


May we all find this out before we become betrothed and not the hard way afterwards.


Xoxo,

C.
