The Love That Remained Unexpressed

in Emotions & Feelings6 months ago (edited)

Love is a feeling that needs to be expressed in every moment you get. No matter how hard it may be to express sometimes, one should go beyond their comfort zone because if not now, then when? Love is the most beautiful feeling one can experience, live, and express. Your love towards the dog living in the basement of your apartment, the affection for the cat waiting under the stairs of your office because you fed her earlier—everyone deserves to feel loved, cared for, valued, and prioritized.

However, one should also know how to respect and value these feelings when someone showers them upon you. In today's era, it's rare to find a person who genuinely loves you just because they love you. To love others, one must first learn to love themselves. Self-love is important to understand what you truly deserve and what your soul needs. It helps you identify when to prioritize yourself and when to make adjustments. There is a thin line between these two statements, yet it creates a huge difference in an individual's life.

Nowadays, people tend to think that saying "I love you" is the only thing needed to make another person feel loved. They meet, they talk, they share, and they fall in love— "I LOVE YOU," and that's where it ends. They don't understand that it is the actual beginning of feeling love, the start of knowing what love feels like. Things that are termed cringe now are the clingiest yet cutest ways to feel love at the same point.

Flames, love percentages, showing possessiveness— "You are MINE," calling each other by pet names, those old-school things, expressing happiness or blessings for having that person in your life, being part of it—more of such things follow right after you say those three magical words. You won't be doing all these if you had said it just for the sake of saying it because these feelings just flow out of you when you truly feel them. For instance, in any serious relationship, you will realize that you feel the urge to do all these clingy things, to express your love. But somewhere, you didn't; you let go of the opportunities to love your favorite person a little harder that day. You will realize that if you had expressed what you actually felt at that moment, if you had crossed your limits to express yourself, that relationship might have stayed, one that was worth staying for.

Sadly, in today's generation, love is not an easy feeling to find. People are actually scared to be loved or to love because they are broken somewhere or know that love comes with pain and will only ruin them. But you know where the loophole lies? It's in not knowing the art of being loved and loving.

Remember how we used to randomly call each other just to say, "I miss you a little more than the rest of the days," or "Today, I feel like hugging you tightly because I'm a little more tired than usual." How you would walk on the roadside because it felt safer for the person you loved, or how you would hold their hand while walking. When you knew their days weren't going well, you would send a sweet good morning message to brighten their day. All those little things, like picking flowers from a tree and giving them to your loved one, spoke volumes about your love without saying a word.

When you start doing these things from your heart, not to show anyone or because someone told you to, but because you genuinely feel them, that's when you know you have truly begun to live love. That's when you understand the true meaning of intimacy—how to stay close despite the distance, how to bridge the gaps. That's when you realize that someone understands you better than those who are always around you.

Just like fear is a feeling, love is also a feeling. And you are truly human when you can feel and express love, care, and compassion. Things should be expressed while there is time because, after someone is gone, you realize their true importance. If you don't, someone else might show them the love they deserve.

And one more thing—loyalty. No relationship is solely centered around loyalty. If the person takes the hand of someone who gives them the love they deserve, they are not a cheater; they are just prioritizing themselves. Perhaps they are tired of understanding and making adjustments and are now choosing their own happiness.

It is stated in society that men tend to be more practical and women are more emotional. But in reality, both men and women are practical and emotional. Both carry these emotions within them. Have you ever seen a girl who takes up her family responsibilities while carrying her inner child within her? Have you ever seen a man who is truly into his woman and does everything to make her feel special? I have seen both, and I can say every human has love inside them that needs to be loved and showered on their favorite humans, irrespective of gender.

So, first, analyze yourself and find out if you keep expressing your love to your favorites often. This piece ends here, and if you have stayed with it till now, thank you for your precious time. Thank you for expressing your love for this piece by giving your time to it. If you want to appreciate this or even like a part of it, go to your favorite humans and express your love and gratitude towards them a little more today. If you want to help others understand this art of expressing love, feel free to share this piece with them.

Thanks and love to you for being here! I'll catch you soon with another such topic. Suggest one if you have something in mind. Bye!
