The Dichotomy of Love: Deserved vs. Desired and the Influence of Destiny

Exploring the Dichotomy of Love: Deserved and Desired, and the Role of Destiny Love, a complex and multifaceted emotion, has long captivated the human heart and mind. It is a force that drives us, inspires us, and shapes our lives in profound ways. Within the realm of love, we can discern two distinct types: love that we deserve and love that we desire. These two forms often intersect and…

Not me. I don't deserve the good things have. I don't serve love or happiness. Punishment and hell is what I deserve.

no you dont. you exist and thats enough. love is not something people deserve. its a feeling people love and try to give their best

It's not that people can't love you if you don't love yourself. It's that you won't feel it because it will always seem like you don't deserve it.

to deserve love is to give it

to deserve love is to give it

You know, the older I get, the more I realize that

the more you know, the more you realize you don’t know.

For example, I wrote a poem for last year’s National Poetry Writing Month in April called “too much credit“. In it, I tried to explain that because I had been loved, truly loved, by others, I thought myself capable of doing the same. As time passes, I realize that accepting love and loving…

Choosing Love

I have been thinking deeply about love and fear recently, having finally recognised that I fear love. By this, I don’t just mean romantic love, or sexual love; I mean the whole process of opening up to, and being vulnerable around, another human being; being sufficiently vulnerable to let the deep waters of my vast capacity for love flow out freely and fearlessly.

I always keep a little bit of…

We all deserve to love ourselves, right? Like to truly be in love with who we are as a person. To love every aspect of your physical appearance. To love all your unstable and emotional state of mind moments. To love the way you hold yourself. To love the things you love. We all deserve this type of love from OURSELVES. So why don’t we all love ourselves in this way then? Why do we feel like it is wrong to do so? Nobody deserves this type of love from you. Not a single soul, so give it to yourself. Love your own goddamn self. 

Love the way your eyes crinkle at the edges when you smile. Love the way your smile isn’t symmetrical. Love the way you scrunch your nose when asking a question. Love the way your ears sometimes stick out from behind your hair. Love your curves on your body. Love how big your thighs are. Love how you look in your favorite clothes. Love the way you paint your fingers rather than just your nails. Love the fact that you barely even have nails because you bite them so often. Love the mole behind your right ear and between your fingers. Love your weird birthmark on your inner thigh. Love the way you jam out in the car, even though nobody is around. Love the way you dance in your underwear, just because. Love the way you use your phone as a microphone. Love the way you look without make-up on. Love the way your hair falls after waking up. Love the way you flip your hair when trying to work. Love how you smile at anyone, no matter who they are. Love the way you read all the time. Love the way your eyes look when the light hits them.

Love everything about yourself. 

You deserve all this love, but you aren’t even giving it to yourself. You think you don’t deserve it, but baby, you do. You deserve all the love in the world, half of which should be from yourself. Love and love and never stop loving.

When you’re feeling down, love yourself. You’ll always have yourself. When you think everything is at the end, love yourself. You have yourself. When you think you can’t go on without someone, just know, nobody could ever love you more than you love yourself.

Take yourself out to eat. Walk around downtown by yourself. Go get ice cream by yourself. Visit museums and cemeteries by yourself. Drive along a road for miles upon miles by yourself. Do it all by yourself. Fall in love with YOURSELF. 

Because at the end of the day, all you have is yourself, so let’s hope you love who you are, or that’s going to be one miserable ending. 

Love yourself. You are who you have at all times. Be the one thing you fall in love with. Always be content with yourself.

But please, baby, please, love yourself more than you love anyone or anything else. You deserve it.

Why you (and I) don't deserve love

I don't understand where the notion of, "I deserve love" came from, but it's the absolutely worst way to go about finding love. You deserve nothing, you are not entitled above all the other lonely souls on this Earth to experience love just because your day consists of eating, sleeping, and brooding. Love is a shared experience between people that demands reciprocity and equality. You have to offer the other person (or persons, I don't judge) something; I hate to say that but that's how it is in our world. So own up to your shortcomings, work on your strengths, and stop waiting around for someone to lift you out of your loneliness, because guess what, they aren't going to.
