>The only time you can experience love is during your teenage years. That's the only time it feels unconditional. Everything is transactional after that. I wish it wasn't this way. Especially because so many people missed out on it.
This is absolutely right. Romantic love is "puppy love," or early, adolescent love. Mature love is transactional and practical.
If you want unconditional love, which is totally understandable, then seriously, adopt a dog. They love you unconditionally in a way even your mother never couldn't.
