I am getting older, some things stay the same, like me pondering over the concept of love.
I am not against it, but I am not really sure if I am in support of it. And surely am not against it, just that I cannot comprehend it.
Probably, it's just me. I can't see someone loving me or, rather, loving me back.
its one of those things I cant really just get my head around. It is just too much for me. Beyond my brain, beyond my consciousness, out of my experiences and thinking.
Because on one side, it's the question: What do I bring to the table for someone to love me back? What am I providing them?
Providing? In the sense of the reason,
the reason they would tolerate me,
the reason why they will stay,
the reason they would reciprocate the love I give them.
Accepting and loving me for who i am, yes thats kind. Maybe, a little too kind. Maybe the to the point its not kindness, it mercy. i have seen these old couples who are in so "love" and every thing, and it never looked like they were doing each other a favor by loving. So love isnt about being merciful to the partner.
On the flip side, changing myself for the other person, only to be loved by them without any regard for my own self. Is it really worth it, losing myself? Is this love or idolization?
Where do i draw the line to differentiate between, "i am trying to be seen" and "i am worshipping the person"?
What is love, really? I'm not really sure. I have been seeing things, observing, reading, listening and experiencing. What Or rather, nothing. Nothing really makes sense, to me.
Everyone is falling in love, falling out of love, in loving relationships. I've been in a wedding, i sat there thinking: What even is a relationship? I'm not sure what's the problem with me, or if there even is a problem with me in the first place.
I am 22 now, and i have never been in a relationship. I don't think I will be getting into one anytime soon.
Growing up, I thought I liked the girl, and I invested 7 years of my life on her. She asked me, Why did I like her? I didn’t have an answer.
I would like to think I never liked her. It was just the environment around me at the time. Everyone was falling in love. Hormones were showing up.
Investing 7 years of my life to her, linking her from a distance. Learning to write poetry, then drawing a portrait of hers. In hopes, that someday I would show it to her and she would reciprocate it back.
Though I felt for her before the hormone phase, i have nothing to prove or justify what i felt back in the day.
It's been 6 years now since she has rejected me. I don't think about it anymore. I used to write poetry in the name of love I had for her, only to realize I probably never liked her.
Based on what happened overall,
is it sad? I'm not sure.
Do I regret it? I don't think so.
Can I do anything about it? Nah.
Do I want to do anything about it? No.
What should i expect? I dont know
What do i want? I dont know
my friends, always nag me to get a girlfriend. i always think, how do i "get" a girlfriend, its not i can go to a shop and buy one.
but in all seriousness, how do i. when i am not really feeling anything for anyone, at least in the romantic sense. i am not thirsty for love, so i am not really trying. i think i am secure enough in myself to feel that. but the constant nagging to get in a relationship, the constant amazement of peers that i have never been in a relationship. why are things like this, why am i getting forced or shamed in to a relationship.
maybe, i will feel when i feel. but, what is really mean to feel?
this constant misery, i dont want any of this.
i am tired, i want to sleep.
