PRAISE

 LOVE

Falling in love has got to be one of the greatest feelings one could ever experience especially when the person you are in love with loves you back. What if that love is not reciprocated? That is when we experience the pains of one sided feelings. Then again, in as much as it hurts to not have your love reciprocated,  I want people to fully understand that people have the right to decline our love no matter how pure our intentions are. We are probably not what they want and that is also okay. You could be praying for someone to be your life partner and they may also be praying for someone else who might have the qualities they do not want to see in you. Life is ironic, isn't it? Because of our love for people, we may tend to turn a blind eye to the fact that they may not be feeling the same way about us and we end up looking so desperate in their eyes. Even if there was a point where they seemed to want or love you, feelings do change along the line and that is also okay. I am not saying due to the fact that feelings wane, we don't owe the people around us some accountability. Even if you may not feel same way about them anymore, best thing to do is to COMMUNICATE it. Keyword here is COMMUNICATE.

 Nothing is as important as communication. Communication clears a lot of misunderstandings. A lot. Also you don't expect people to be mind readers and know what's going on in your head. If you don't like how they treat you, say it. If you want something more, say it. After all, what's the worst that could happen? Being told NO. Just pack your bags, leave, move on and boss up your life.  If you want the relationship/situationship to end, just say so rather than subjecting the other party through emotional torture which is worse than being rejected. Better to hurt them now rather than lead them on.

I would like to drum on this more; people who in as much as like others to be vocal about things,  should not and I repeat, should not turn a blind eye to some of the signs that show you are being sidelined in the hopes of things getting better along the line or they will come out and tell you as it is. Some people are just too nice to hurt your feelings and will emotionally torture you with their words or don't want to cut you off completely and still have their cake and eat it. The moment you see things not matching up, just focus and move on instead of trying to work the situation out. You tend to look desperate and the respect they may even have for you diminishes along the line.

With that being said,  we all have a role to play in this and I believe being vocal about a lot of things will indeed make our lives easier and spare us a lot of things we subject ourselves to.
