Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back

"Loving someone who doesn't love you is like waiting for a ship at the airport."

Loving Someone Who Doesn't Love You Back
zbynekmlcoch.cz

Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is honestly the best way to destroy yourself. I’ve been in love before. It’s beautiful. If you are anything like me, you love with every fiber of your being. You love deeply, and if you give someone your heart it’s a big deal. Giving someone your heart is a risk. There are many things that can go wrong, trust can be broken, people can go different ways in their lives, or they can simply just decide that they just don’t love you anymore…

When someone decides that they don’t love you anymore something inside you shatters. You start questioning your whole relationship that you had with that person. “Did they ever really love me?” “Was it all just fake?” “Is there something wrong with me?” “Did I drive them away?” but let me tell you something nothing is wrong with you. People change. Sometimes they just decide that they just don’t want to share their lives with certain people anymore, and that sucks, it truly does.

When someone decides that they just don’t love you anymore, it hurts you in a way that is unexplainable. But you need to use that pain that they have caused you to build a fire in your soul and make a life for you. You need to go after your dreams and as you slowly begin to heal and find yourself, then God will provide someone for you.

When that person walks out of your life, it doesn’t mean that your love for them goes with them. You have to fight daily to not think about them, to not call them, to not drive by their house. I personally think it’s one of the hardest fights you will face. But through this fight, you will find yourself. Through the darkness, you will be forced to find your own way out, on your own, and it will transform you into a person that you won’t recognize. You have the choice on who this person becomes, you will either love this unrecognizable person or you will hate who you become.

You have a choice on who you become in the end, and you have to live with the person that you chose for the rest of your life. You can go through this battle with the attitude that God hates you, and that he put you through all of this because he enjoys watching you fail, or you can decide to be happy and know that God would never give you something you can’t handle. He is just preparing you for your future. He wants you to be ready. He wants you to have someone who will love you at all times, who would never leave you. Who is, though you can’t imagine it at this time, so much better than the person that doesn’t love you back.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
