The Unrequited Love.

“Lesson Number One: All the time traveling in the world can't make someone love you. “ – About Time.

Charlie Brown once said, “Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love.”  -- Charlie loves peanut butter and when he experienced unrequited love, even his favorite peanut butter tasted bitter.

When you fall in love with someone, it is easy to remember everything about them.

You remember their favorites, you remember their favorite songs, you remember their favorite movies, you know what makes them laugh, you remember their scent, you know how they would eat their toast, you know their habit, you would recognize their signature movements, your world simply evolves around them and you are aware of every single thing that they do or feel.

Then comes the fact.

They don’t feel the same way as you feel about them.

The world crumbles. All of the sudden everything you remember, things that used to make you smile, now they make you feel sad. Something is broken inside, unseen but the pain feels so real.

The kind of pain that would take any kind of taste out from anything you’ve ever liked.

And nothing you can do about it because there’s no formula on how to make someone loves you back. 

My pastor’s wife once said this face slapping truth, “Even if you wear an oversized bando and running around to get a guy’s attention, it won’t work. Why? Simply because he’s just not that into you.”

Yes, we need to deal with that fact that the other person is just not that into us.

When someone doesn’t love us back, it doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong in us. It doesn’t mean that we are not smart enough, not beautiful enough or not worthy enough to be loved.No, it’s simply because they just don’t feel the same way about us.

We might see someone else in their eyes and they might never look at us the way we look at them, those will break our heart but eventually, we will learn how to let go and move on.

When someone doesn't love you back, wish them all the best and let go because you are worth to be loved by someone who would treasure all the qualities in you and love you for who you are.

Live your life to the fullest, enjoy every moment and appreciate everyone. Keep your heart open and don't be bitter.

Remember that it is good to be happy with someone but it is better if that someone is happy to be with us too :)
