It Hurts

Love sucks. It sucks when you can't stop thinking about them, when it hurts to think about them, and you just want to have your own life. You aren't even functional as your own person anymore, and when the love goes unreturned, your heart rots. What sucks even more is that you can't even control who you fall in love with. It's a stupid obsession that accomplishes nothing but making you miserable.

If you find yourself in a loving relationship, that's great. Love can be a beautiful thing. But in cases where the love is unreturned and hopeless, it causes nothing but pain. And you just want to forget them but you can't, so you resort to writing stupid, long rants like this one.

Sometimes love works out, but when it doesn't, you need to let go. Unfortunately letting go is difficult, and this piece of writing wouldn't exist if love was easy to just forget about. It hurts, you know it's stupid and self-destructive to dwell on, but you can't help it. Unreturned love is like an illness that eats away at your soul: you either have to make the love work, abandon it, or let it continue to destroy you. It sucks, right?
