Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 80: ...When you're not loved in return

Hi @steem4nigeria, thankyou for reminding me of a very potential situation that kept me thinking for years, even though I later got solution for it.

In my own view, I will say “Love is a strong feeling of concern towards one another”. Concern in the sense that, it's only love that binds this memories to your heart. For one to love you, it simply means, the person is ready to personalize your matters, take your pains and give you supports (concern).

There are some that may claim to love you but the concern is not there; so whether you're bleached with emotions, it's never their business. But those that feel concern about you, are always ready to carry your burdens no matter how heavier it is. So love is a strong feeling of concern towards one another.

Infact,

Love = Feelings + Concern.

I believe when it comes to expressions of love, everybody have their own ways, so today I will be sharing my own way.

• Showing interest in the person's growth. Giving full supports when needed to ensure the person is not suppressed.
• Praying for the person when in tough situations and not in tough situations.
• Giving close attentions to the person's present challenges and highlighting remedies to get it better.
• Surprising the person's with the person's favourite.

Another concepts of love that keeps me doing what I do inspite of the person's payback is: Love is letting go of whatever behaviours the person shows you. You just let go because you believe that in the matter of time the person may comes to his/her senses. I know there are people that will never come back, I once found myself in such status.

There's this chocolate-green guy I love so much, I even gave everything within me to make him happy. But he never found me worthy. He always sticks for another girl who pleases his wants. For like years now, we've gone out of togetherness. Each time I reminisce his nasty archetypes, I'm prone not to ever love.

So whether the energy you're giving in is not appreciated and it's something that pleases you doing, keep it up. Sometimes, the person may be under unrealistic spell-binding.

No. I'm still the good person I have always being. But the shocking part is that, whenever this storms, if you're not careful, you may not want to love again.

I invite @eglis, @okere-blessing and @benton3 to participate in this contest.
