okay but give us reasons why to stan/love one of your favorite trope: PINING.
(you're gonna make a list eh? 🥴)
Reasons? Because it’s the BEST THING EVER.
Um, actual reasons?
Because pining is love and pain and friendship and protectiveness and softness and gentleness and affection hidden and trying to keep someone in your life without revealing you secrets.
Pining is secret shrines and songs and privacy and hiding and loving in silence and watching and helping and supporting.
Pining is following and befriending and secret conversations and bandaids and cold water and sneaking into clubs together.
Pining is carrying and feeding and wiping their face when they’re messy and making sure that they know you’re there for them without letting them know how much it matters to you.
Because pining is all about the strength of love and affection even against the odds, even when it seems hopeless, even when you’re sure it’s hopeless.
It’s about love that perseveres against hope.
Pining is choosing to love despite knowing it won’t be returned, it’s loving against your own interests, it’s loving when you know it can’t happen, it’s loving no matter what.
Why do I love pining?
Because pining is about love that lasts, even if it probably shouldn’t.
