Without Love

Assalamu'alaikum! Hey peepo-leepo! How are you peeps doing? I hope you're doing great or okay. If you feel like you're not, it's gonna be okay. Okay? 😉

A close friend of mine brought up an interesting subject from our everyday-casual texting sessions which actually made me think. In order to do that, it took some time for me to wallow into the abyss of that particular situation.

'Have you ever imagined your life without your loved ones?'

Now now… Before you go 'ugh 😒' or 'alaaaa', I know what you're thinking. It sounds cliché and what not but hear me out. It really does make you think. Have YOU ever imagined YOUR life without YOUR loved ones? 

I know it made me think. Oh! By the way, the answer was no. Hence, this post! 😂

Loved one(s). The way I understand is that it goes both ways. You could be loving a particular person or group of people that you love and care for so much...or...it could be that particular person of group of people loving you. Someone could love you and care for you as much you do for them. Believe it or not, I've came across wonderful people in my life from different ethnic backgrounds, religions, and social status that cares for me as I, too, for them. I wouldn't want to sacrifice them for anything because they made me who I am today. (we talked about that a few posts back) 

I believe that you, the one reading this very awkwardly written post, also has someone you love. I know you do, stop lying to yourself😜. Someone loves you as much as you do...maybe even more! The point being that no matter how secluded you are in the world, there will always be someone.

Now...

let's imagine you don't love anybody. It might sound odd but hear me out. I tried to put myself into not loving anyone. It's a very...unique experience. Not caring for anyone. Not even your family or closest friends. This bond of emotional connection with another being would be absent. It reminded me of an assassin for not being able to love or care for someone because it might jeopardise their mission (but look where that brought Black Widow😋). They would just be.. Alone. People around them will just mark them as being ignorant and selfish. My tiny mind just cannot comprehend it due to the fact that we humans were bred to love and nurture each other. 'If we didn't love each other, our species would be extinct.' (U'wais, 2018) haha! Loving would be and still be in our DNA no matter how hard we try to deny the feeling.

whereas...

imagine also not being loved by anyone. Teens and youths understand this wayyyyy too much. Am I right? or am I right? 😏 The phase just after hitting puberty, where we just go rogue and try everything we could due to the fact You Only Live Once, huh? It is also during this phase where some of us don't feel graciously loved and under appreciated by the people surrounding our lives at the time. We see the eyes of emptiness and not the eyes of love when we look into the gateways of the souls we come across everyday. The fact no one loves you...consumes you. People still care for you and love you and they try their best to wrap around the part of your life where you're going through drastic hormonal changes.

So then, what's the verdict?

I cannot imagine no matter how hard I tried. 

So that is all for today, geng! Comment down below on your thoughts to the question! I'm curious to hear this 😁 (technically read it but you get my point) 

Have fun and be safe, 

U'wais out!
