How can I love selflessly?

 Tonight, I find myself feeling frustrated because I feel like I tend to love people more than they love me. I knew right then, there was something wrong with that perspective. My expectations again are leading to me feeling disappointed. I have set expectations again how my love should be reciprocated, and that's really...

...stupid.

It's easy to say that we should practice an agape love to people but in reality we don't live it.

Then, I thought of my mum. I realised in the same way that I have never returned my mum's love the same amount that she gives me. Don't get me wrong, I love my mum with all my heart, however for some reasons I can't reciprocate it because it's too great. It's just too great and yet she never made me feel crap of not being able to return it. She simply just loves me, that's it.

I wanna love people like how my mum does it.
