Love Like a Dog...Or A Baby

I started to realize recently that the secret to being happy with others and seeing them with your heart, unconditionally, is to love them like a dog or a baby would. Dogs and children don't see people in a superficial way; they see the true heart of someone.

I'll explain how I came to this realization. My "man" is big. He's what society would deem a plus size. Oh, yes, in their superficial, judgmental way of seeing things they have all sorts of labels to paste all over him. I see him as a wonderful, loving, funny, intelligent, sweet, kind, generous, sexy man who I miss every second I am away from him.

I see him this way, because I stopped looking at people in a superficial way, and started seeing them in the way that a dog or baby might. They understand love; they understand someone who treats them with respect and cares for them.

They also know to avoid the person who is false, fake, mean-spirited, who raises their voice (or hand) in anger, who kicks them or slaps them. This person could be any size, or have any type of appearance. This person could be what society deems as attractive, but they are a living example that "beauty is skin deep, but ugly is to the bone."

I am happy that I have gone through all I have in relationships to come to this place, to discover someone who is wonderful, just because he is. I guess I am smarter now, because I am thinking like a baby...or a dog.
