Redamancy

Ramblings.

I think the hardest part in life is trying to make the people you love, love you back. And somehow, that never happens. Or even if it does, there's always this one person out of the two of you who loves more than the other. Love is never truly reciprocal. 

Author's Note

Redamancy - the act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full.

Always great to learn a new word! I find your pondering of this concept to be thought-provoking. I’ve always known & accepted that one person always loves more than the other. One of my favorite songs of all time: “I Can’t Make You Love Me” by Bonnie Raitt. I love the way your message makes it sound like this might be the first time you’ve started to consider this unavoidable aspect of loving (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

You're actually right in your observation of me writing this piece. I've recently come to terms with with really accepting that it's almost always never truly reciprocated. I'll have to listen to that song though ;) Thank you so much for adding your thoughts here, BG. Appreciated. Hugs back

Very interesting concept. It's a bit true. I use to try to gain attention from my father but I was always ignored.

Aw is it sad that Im mainly drawn to the fact that you last updated this on my birthday? Lmao! I think it is a depressing feeling to have unrequited love... but im sure that someone you love loves you back ;P hhaahhaahah, always a pleasure to read your stuff Yumna!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Love does not necessarily mean passion, or a stifling atmosphere. A quiet acceptance cultivated over time is far more likely to result in a successful bond . But occasionally a little thunderstorm is necessary to clear the air. After over 53 years of marriage ,we have justified this. Is this redamancy???

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I'd say I agree with your words here. And perhaps there's not much to deny either knowing your experience of 53 years. But then again, it varies from individual to individual. And I guess mainly depends upon what one chooses to believe. I do not see myself in the near or even distant future experiencing a love completely fulfilled tbh.
Thank you so much btw, for sharing your experience and thoughts, sir. Very much appreciated.

Very true. It's why I hold no expectations for my loved ones. What means everything to me can mean nothing to them with their love for another outweighing the care of another. Sad but true. Live a life alone, but not lonely... just wise. As is this.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I agree and am of the same opinion. Thank you so much for adding your thoughts here, L. Appreciated (:
