You are too brilliant (this question via formspring)
what is more sad?
can’t love someone, or not be loved?I would say not being able to love someone.
Because when you can’t feel love, you’re barely human at all. When you can’t be loved, there’s still that longing, there’s still that hope that you will be, and it always keeps you going. But when you can’t love, when you can’t wholly give yourself over to another person, it leads to self-destruction. Your soul can’t go without loving, it can’t go without being shared. You’re much more alone than not being loved at all.
On the contrary, I think it’s sadder to not be loved at all. Because even when you hope you can share your soul, you never can. And that’s more dissapointing. And that’s the most miserable part of it I think. I’d like to say “I can’t love” rather than “I can’t be loved”.
