Care.

Once again, I've come across another learning experience this week. I've come to an interesting about conclusion about human behavior from observing social media platforms, along with some one on one conversations with close friends. It seems as though  there's nothing more irksome than  someone who uses how a person feels about them against them. If one is aware that a person desires or cherishes them to an unwavering extent they should, in my opinion, take the necessary measures to respect as well as reciprocate  those feelings. In the event that those desires aren't returned to the full extent in which they are received, they should care enough to let that be know and then proceed to change the nature of the relationship permanently. That is, if a relationship were to continue at all. Instead,  most of the people who are on the receiving end of all these feelings  make it their business to go out there way to tease and evoke those emotions only when it's ideal for them. In turn, expecting said person to quietly and gratefully endure the torture bestowed upon them. It is never okay to underestimate what someone who truly loves you, would do for you. It is never okay to take these feelings lightly, or handle them as if they aren't a fragile entity. Love and desire are very powerful things. I like to believe that the majority of the time, they are the difference between success and failure, hope and defeat and even in some cases life and death. Unfortunately most humans struggle to think beyond themselves long enough to really grasp the drug-like affect they may have on others. Which mean that the rest of us, are walking around, lost and aching. Perpetually fiends for validation and reciprocation, I know the common consensus usually is that people shouldn't need another person to validate them and we shouldn't and in reality, most times, we don't. However, we are human and by definition, imperfect so even though we may not necessarily need the validation it always feels the best to receive it anyway. Which automatically implies that, it tends to feel terrible not to. Love and desire are heart and time consuming things. No one wants to feel as though they've wasted their heart and their time on someone who is perfectly content with manipulating their affections, whilst never quite returning them to their full potential. What exactly is sadder in the whirlwind of love than an unrequited junkie? I'm sure I'll know it when I see it, but until then, I can't  call it,
