Probably not the best place for this, but I couldn’t think of anywhere else to ponder on this simple, but potentially sublime, reflection. Anyways, all insightful comments as they relate to this thought are welcome.

    I understand where this is coming from, I think. Both are distinctly different and bittersweet in their own way.

    I just don’t think having experienced unrequited love from both sides fully encompasses knowing the full spectrum of love.

    I have had about ten relationships in my life, and every single one of them was different in a meaningful way. Every person in your life is a wholly unique experience, whether it’s unrequited love, a short-lived relationship or a deep friendship. I am an amalgamation of everyone I’ve ever known and loved, and I appreciate that this is what life gives me.
