Too Strong, Too Long

It's crazy to me, the things that we humans put up with in the name of love. When you really love someone, weirdness tends to ensue. Man or Women, if the love is genuine we automatically backseat our own whims and desires to adhere to the needs of the ones we love. It happens so fast in fact, that most people dont even realize how bad they have it until they are bending or laxing on moral or everyday rules they once concretely lived by. Love has a way of making really concious and normally self-assured people into irrational insecure idiots. Why? I have no idea. The worst of it though, is any particular moment when one may feel like the love they give and show is going underappreciated. Nothing can make a person feel as shitty as loving someone who doesn't even grasp the full extent of the love they are given. It can also be overtly sucky when the person you love is giving attention to someone you feel in your heart doesn't deserve it. Or would even appreciate it as much as you would. But unfortunately, life  gets unfair like that sometimes. In those moments, it's more important to remember the love you have for YOURSELF above all else. You just have to pick yourself up, remind yourself that if you don't matter to anyone else in this world you matter to You. Use that unwavering knowledge to get through the emotional trainwreck that seems to follow when people love others a little too hard, a little too strong for a little too long.  Eventually, emotions and everything that comes with love will be easier to cope with.  Like every other muscle, your heart will withstand an abundance of pain. That being said, if you don't die in the process of living through it, you WILL inevitably heal. Give yourself that time, as slowly as needed.
