    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.

    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.
