Unreciprocated love

Today I could resume my day basically with the song “The Greatest” by Billie Eilish.

(And the world cup final but we won’t talk about that here)


It’s a really great song, and if you never listened to it, here is the link:

Seriously I never would have imagined I would relate to that song, but here we are.

The song talks about unreciprocated love. I’m not sure how many people might know how that feels. But I’m sure most of us will experience it at least once, it sucks, and you’ll see yourself on every single line of the song.

You might be going through something similar, knowing the potential a relationship has, giving your all for the person, pretending like everything is ok when you’re really hurting inside from the person’s indifference, the confusion from it all, and the frustration you get from the person not even trying to achieve their potential with you. For you, the person could have been the greatest, and they chose not to. Seriously one of the worst feelings out there.

And it gets even more awful because it’s not like the person owes you anything, if they just don’t want anything to do with you you can’t blame them you know? But it’s so frustrating because it could be great, INCREDIBLE even if they just tried. 

It made me start seeing relationships like a little game for 2. Both of you can go really far, and it can be amazing what you two get from it, but both need to play actively. If only one does, you’ll fail. And GOD is it annoying when you’re really giving your all and the person you’re playing with is barely trying. At the end of the day, if things stay that way, it’ll lead to failure. 

But hey, at the very least, as much as it hurts you didn’t get the win, you can come out with a clear conscience that it wasn’t your fault you lost. The person could have been the greatest.

I’m obviously mainly referring to romantic relationships, but friendships are also applicable here.


I wish I had some sort of advice on how to deal with such situations, but I really don’t… Maybe the best choice would be to adjust your “playstyle” to theirs. Like if you really tried, but they don’t seem to be giving enough of them for you, then maybe just give them what they give you. 

It might be really sad to do so because you really care for the person, but with time it’ll only hurt more if you keep striving for something you can’t get because of someone else. 

Eventually you shall meet someone who has a great potential with you and it’s willing to get there with you, I guarantee that.


That’s all for today’s episode. : )

Just wanted to talk about the theme a bit.

See you tomorrow!

Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com Everyone changes  Growth in your bones  Understanding life takes time  To blossom in flowers  Your flower is your development Having to learn a lesson  To change who you are  Wanting something so bad  But knowing that it will take time  To find that love one  God knows your story  So try to live up every moment  You know everyone loves you You need to love yourself  Let yourself change  Become someone who is better  Than the previous one  Understand life is one step closer  So don’t like anything stop  From becoming a flower of your former self  Bloom into something else  Entirely.

Pieces from the past

 Today's post is brought by: mayi – Medium Go check more of their work and come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com We haven’t spoken since that last time, which is honestly impressive considering how committed the universe has been to arranging near-misses. We grew up together, knew the same people, lived in the same circles, and even after ending up hundreds of miles apart, there’s always someone who knows you, knows me, or knows someone who knows both of us. At this point, I’m starting to suspect we’re just poorly written recurring characters. I have my own life now and so do you. There are new people, new routines, new problems, and presumably better things to think about. There is absolutely no practical reason for either of us to be thinking about the other. Which is why, every once in a while, I consider deleting that playlist. You know the one. The playlist I made entirely of songs you int...

Don't overcomplicate

Today's post is brought by: H. Tayrone Come back tomorrow to see what's new! Wish to write tomorrow's post? Just send a text to lifeisworthlivingv1@gmail.com I had a realization these days and it genuinely made my work and many other aspects of my life easier. Maybe things aren’t as complicated as they seem. Perhaps you had that feeling too before. I noticed that if I stop thinking of things as a really complicated puzzle I manage to make more progress. Seriously, for so long I asked myself what people do that I’m not doing.  Why do some things just come to people so easily when it is so "complicated" to get the thing? These “things” tend to be building projects, behaving certain ways, or just achieving something. And I believe for the longest time I over complicated all that. Everything had to be thought out for it to work to the point I felt like there was something wrong with me because I was trying so hard to make it work and other people didn’t seem to try an...
