Love is a beautiful thing; so are friendships.
Love is necessary; so are friends.
These are two things that people desire at all times. A good friendship and a friend who knows how to love are among the greatest achievements a person can have in life. But ironically these are also among the reasons people lose their inner peace. Many spend a significant part of their lives in distress over love and friendships-feeling that the love they gave was not returned in the same way, that they are not truly loved, or that their friends do not give them enough importance. It is rare to find someone who has never complained or felt hurt about these things.
If you have never complained about not receiving enough love or attention from a friend, it could mean something else-it may mean that you never truly valued that friend deeply. They were just one among many. However, if you genuinely valued and cared for a friend, yet they did not return the same level of love or consideration, then the truth is simple: they do not take you as seriously as you take them.
So, do not waste your love on someone who does not need it. Why should you hold on to those who do not hold on to you? If you have lost love or friendship, and it is disturbing your peace, make a firm decision to let go. Comfort your heart. Yes, it is a difficult decision, but what other choice do you have? Suicide? Violence? These are nothing but self-destruction.
That is why you must take this necessary decision, one that harms no one. You called them many times, you went to meet them, and yes, they spoke to you and shared affection when you were around. But how many times did they call you first? How often did they come to see you? If the answer is rarely or never, it simply means you are not that important to them.
So, stop crying over lost love and friendships. Take a deep breath, wipe away the sorrow, and look at life with a smile. Those who truly value your love and friendship will enter your life-no matter what, even if they have to struggle to get there. Be patient, and wait with hope.
