    Young people say "catch feelings" and what I find remarkable is how difficult it seems to be today for love to be mutual. I see a lot of unrequited, lopsided love. Quite the mystery.

    Wow I was really sad over things not working out with a girl but now I realize that when we were in love it happened spontaneously and I remember being so present throughout the experience. I'm very grateful to have experienced that kind of pure love. I believe love of this kind is a window into enlightenment

    Thank you for bringing back a happy memory. When I was young I blossomed in love with a beautiful lady. As the relationship developed we found ourselves in bed undergoing horizontal refreshment. During the procedure she started shaking uncontrollably and her eyes rolled. My ego 'told' me I must be a superstud. Next morning I whispered lovingly in her ear, "you enjoyed yourself last night." Her reply was, "I don't remember much about it. "I should have told you I have epilepsy but I was afraid I would lose you." As I stifled my laughter, I realised I now loved her even more." If you can't laugh when you're in love, you're not really in love!!!! Thanks again.

    A lot of times, marriage is an act of fear. Fear of losing something which fills a certain need. Real love is based on freedom; you shouldn't want to bind it.

      If you marry out of fear of losing that person you have already lost them. Marriage is no needed to commit to someone and if that person needs it that is no person to commit to.

    The change in vision occurs in deep dark dungeons where you are disappointed with people but primarily yourself... and after encountering it is a journey....whenever you fall back into your old self...you are brought back to it ... for a deeper look....there is simply no turning back to your previous self... your perceptions of people your value system changes... from being materialistic to starting abhoring materialistic and superficial, you will gladly sit in the feet of a parent or grandparent who gives you shade and emanate energy that shows that they too figured it out...long time ago

    Arranged marriage is less disappointing because expectations are low in the first place, in old times it was a very practical arrangement which is now mired with Hollywood Bollywood fantasy... if you are a good team to bring up kids.. its all good

    I fall in love with someone in my head, i never meet her, i never know her, but don't know why everytime i think of her, i feel warm and happy, yet sometimes sad, and lonely, because i hide my feeling and never tell her, how i feel...
    It's hard when you have deep feeling over someone while you fighting your own battle with depression.....
    She's one of the reason i'm still living yet i knew, she's definitely reject me and hate me for why i hid myself and my feelings
    Maybe it was destiny, loving someone that have a boyfriend....
    Sometimes those feeling keep coming back, and i try so hard to deny my heart, but I can't, I'm too scared to tell her, too depressed and hating myself so much, that i knew i only gave her hard time and only hurt her

    • @Shockace
      @Shockace Год назад +6

      Best thing to do: learn to respect yourself. Because then it all comes to plan. When you respect yourself, you fight off depression, even co-exist it to be your friend. And when you fully respect yourself, you can easily love yourself. You can’t just “learn to love yourself” without learning to respect yourself first. At the end, what you set yourself and how you present yourself will be the result of what others will give you, and when you have gained that for you, then the right people come into your life. But don’t forget that life is precious as it’s a rarity of being human in this vast and endless universe. It’s beautiful, live it beautifully and live in your own terms and not others! Much love to all❤️
