A friend has been having a tough time at work lately, getting scolded by the boss every now and then. The company even suggested relocating her to the factory.
Yesterday, she returned home late after a meeting in the neighboring city. On the way back, she mentioned that she had been too preoccupied with making a living to even think about the crush she had blocked.
She wanted to look at his photos in her phone gallery but suddenly realized she didn’t have any. Despite knowing each other for over two years and meeting up for meals occasionally, she couldn’t even recall his face these days.
When you’re caught up in the struggles of daily life, focusing on survival and fighting to maintain stability, you don’t have the luxury to dwell on past relationships or unrequited feelings.
Love is something you can only truly embrace when you are in a good place physically and mentally. When you’re struggling to keep afloat, love takes a backseat.
The person you like only bothers to respond when you initiate contact. Once you stop, they vanish into thin air, and the relationship fades away.
Not contacting someone for a while indicates you may not like them that much. The feelings of reluctance, regret, or longing are just obsessions from unattainable desires.
You’re aware of the reality—he has always been indifferent to your feelings. He enjoys the attention but doesn’t reciprocate the same level of interest.
Choosing to maintain a sense of peace and emotional stability, my friend realized that focusing on her career prospects was more important than dwelling on a one-sided relationship.
We’re all too busy with our lives to indulge in unfulfilled love. We prioritize stability, a decent job, and a warm meal over matters of the heart.
Weathering the storms of life, it’s crucial to stand firm on solid ground first before delving into matters of the heart.
