Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 80: ...When you're not loved in return.
What do you understand by the concept "Love".
The Concept of love can be defined as a set of emotions, behaviors, attitudes characterized by intimacy, passion, commitment, etc. Love encompasses a range of strong and positive emotional and mental states, from the most sublime virtue or good habit. In other words, Love involves closeness, affection, attraction, trust, fondness, protectiveness, etc. When you have a strong affection or feeling of deep attachment towards someone or something, it simply means "Love". Pure love is unconditional. Pure love costs nothing to give, yet it seems like loving one another, loving ourselves, and loving the world as a whole.
Have you been expressing love? If yes, how have you been doing that.
There are many ways by which we can express love. Yes, I have been expressing my love to my family, friends, and people around me. I try to express my love through kindness, thoughtful conservation, helping people, gift-giving, hands made items, giving out clothes, giving flowers, etc. Another I derived in demonstrating my love to people is by helping them out with thoughtful and meaningful decisions which will be important to them.
Also, when i spend quality time together with loved ones and friends shows my way of expressing love to them. When there is an undivided attention, the love won't be massive. Another point is words of encouragement. When I love people, I demonstrate my love by telling them "I Love You💕" or leave notes of affection and appreciation to them. In all, this is a way of letting them know how much they mean to me.
How did you respond to those who are not/did not respond back to you with the same energy you're giving out as love.
In my understanding, when someone doesn't seem to reciprocate the same energy I give out to them as love, especially the opposite gender,I leave them and forget about them entirely, because they don't seem to add any value in my life. When they are distant from me, I back away as well because I deserve someone better who gives as much as they take. Also,I will withdraw myself from talking to such a person, because to me, it feels like am the one who's forcing all the attention and love. So, I wouldn't want to feel that way.
Did their attitude discourage you from being that loving person that you are?
When someone puts on an attitude that discourages me, it doesn't stops me from being that loving girl I have always been. Although people's attitude of who I have loved and didn't reciprocate the love back always gets to me and makes me feel emotionally unstabled. But, within a short period of time, I get over it, life moves on, and I continue to be that loving soul I have always been. So when I love you, and you didn't feel the same way, I will erase you totally from my life and keep on loving and showing care to people who needs the love and who are also ready to love me back as I do.
In Conclusion, "Love" is indeed a beautiful thing, but when you're with the right people in life. My advice for everyone here is that we should try to love people who loves us as we love them. Don't waste your time on loving people who doesn't care about you or who doesn't reciprocate the same love you share to them. Here comes the end of my post today. Hopefully, you learnt something from here. Thank you for your time.. I wish to invite @saintprinsca @nemerem01 @mcgrady to join this wonderful and interesting contest..😇
