The Weight of Expectation

: The few things I know about love are not comforting in any way. Love is suffering, incompleteness, anguish. When love takes root between two people, it means they will soon pay the ultimate price for this feeling! And yet, after all this—does love truly have any necessity? Why invite sorrow into life deliberately?

: But come, let me think of it differently... Love is merely an experience. To pass through it means you are feeling something—something that the person you love may or may not be feeling in return, yet you feel it regardless, without needing their reciprocation. And this feeling keeps you whole; it brings a kind of peace to your soul. You love, you feel, and so the joy that comes from it belongs entirely to you. You pay the ultimate price only when you grow bowed under the weight of expectation.
