unconditional love.

When I dropped by my friend's booth at the lime flea market last Saturday (Yes chienwei, I'm helping you to promote your 'Boutons' haha), I had initially intended to get something simple for a friend's birthday. Her booth sells basically simple accessories, which are almost entirely meant for the female community.

I could not make up my mind to even buy something for that friend of mine. Just as I was browsing the accessories elegantly displayed on the table, something else caught my eye. There were these two bracelets which I found appealing, bearing the word 'Sister' in cursive, on what seemed like a heart-shaped pendant, lined by colourful beads. Of course, I was thinking of buying them both for my sisters.

But then, something inside me compelled me to think - what for?

So I left the place without investing in anything. On my way back home, I could not stop thinking about the two bracelets and how they appealed to me. At the same time, I could not stop pondering about what reasons should I give them for.

Just then, something hits me in my narrow mind. Why does there have to be an occasion for me to give a little something to my sisters? There have been times when they bought my favourite food dapao-ed for me. There have been times when they graciously blessed me with things which I'm very delighted over. Why then, should there be a reason for me this time, if there hadn't apparently been any for them? If there should be a reason, it has to be this unconditional, somewhat unspoken love we share as siblings.

And it really brings happiness to my soul seeing their genuine smiles over the beautiful bracelets that I got for each of them. I guess I finally understood the meaning of unconditional love.
