Many signals of unrequited love are to be found on social media (CREDIT: Suvir Saran)Unrequited love is one of the most gut-wrenching experiences of the human journey. Sometime or the other, humans fall in love with those who are least able to give any love back. Love that doesn’t return love is far more prevalent than love that does. Way more intense than a fleeting crush, this love can last a lifetime, and can make or break the one in love.
The rejection one must live with, make peace with, and accept when one’s love is not reciprocated, is a rejection most unbearable. The rejection-induced agony many experience can be as debilitating as physical pain. Even knowing the baggage of emotional distress and trauma that unrequited love carries doesn’t ease the suffering.

Everyone wants and deserves to be loved. Many a time, it takes letting go of the objects of our affection who don’t echo the feeling. Kicking away unrequited love isn’t easy, to be able to do that one first needs to awaken to the possibilities of love that’s mutual and fulfilling.
The feelings aren’t always unreciprocated because of the absence of love from one party. Many a time, both people are consumed by love and/or are bound by obligations making it impossible for them to act upon their feelings, which can’t be acknowledged lest another bond is broken.
