    I wanted to believe in love so desperately

    Keywords: personal

    When I was 21 years old, I met a boy in class. We embarked on a roller coaster of emotions that would span over eight years—a cycle of ending things and becoming friends, on and off. I wish to share this story because I believe it holds a valuable lesson: not to sacrifice for someone who doesn’t reciprocate your feelings. There are no rewards, no successes, and time lost that can never be reclaimed. I struggled mentally for this man, at times doubting if I would survive. I often felt unsafe.

    I’ve realized that regardless of whether it is my desire to excel in my academics, my desire to work hard to be a helpful and caring son, or my wish to just simply be considered a “good person”, all these desires are connected by my fundamental desire to have something to be proud of. I guess that’s not the entirety of it; part of my desire to excel in my studies is based on a genuine interest in what I’m studying, and the main reason why I want to be helpful to my parents is a genuine desire to reciprocate all the love I have received from them.

    I want to have down time and too much stimulation sends me into a ball of stress and anxiety

    I want to fall hopelessly and relentlessly in love with someone and I want them to feel the same about me. Sometimes I think that maybe I deserve to be this lonely all the time because I did some horrible awful in a past life or even in this one. I don’t know! I know that I have wanted nothing but to feel loved in this life and so far I haven’t felt it. People always say but you have your kids. That isn’t the same. I want someone to touch me and have it feel like they never want to let me go. I want someone to look at me like I am the reason the sun shines and I can look at them with that same feeling. I want to be held and kept safe. I want someone to do random romantic cheesey things for me without me having to tell the. Lastly I want someone to take care of my heart like it’s a most precious thing in the world to them.

  • I want that same thing — reciprocation

    I want that same thing — reciprocation

    Keywords: blacklove , couples , love , lovelanguage , reciprocation

    While reciprocating in your relationship isn’t hard, it can be easy to overlook because one person may be heavy on the giving end while others are just used to receiving. Sometimes the giver may not know that they are the primary source of what they give out until lack is realized, and you now begin to see what is needed from your partner.
