Love IS Expected.

In life, many things tend to let us down because of the expectations we have placed on them.
Usually, these expectations fail us and can become deep rooted traumas. Nonetheless, Love should always be expected. 
You can live a life in which you love all people, and many days of your life that same love may not feel reciprocated. One person may understand the other's reasoning, while another may be keeping count of the balance. In both examples, love is expected, maybe not instantaneously, but eventually, it is expected. The danger lies in the day we don't expect love. Imagine a day in which no act of kindness holds love; a gift feels cold, a hug feels dry, a kiss feels bland...

When should love be expected?

Think about it like this... the day you stop expecting love, is the day anything of another vibration becomes "the norm". This means digust, anger, carelessness, and coldness become the regular expectation. You no longer yearn to be loved and embraced, you look to be appalled and rejected.

How should love be expected?

The golden rule; treat others as you would want to be treated. Show the people around you the love and respect you demand from them, and yes, show people the love and respect you demand from them.

Why would love be expected?

Expect nothing but love, and you shall give nothing but love. Love has to be expected because life becomes very cold and lonely when we do not. Have you ever encountered a person without joy? Did that person uplift you? Did you pass on your joy? If you didn't think to do so, would your experience have been different if you did?

What kind of love should be expected?

Love in it's purest form. Not romanticized. Not fantasized. A healthy love, one that gives as it receives. A love that knows when to let go, be it for the sake of  another person, or be it for your own sake.
