we need to stop romanticizing yearning every time I have yearned I always get hurt yearning is just loving someone way more than they to you,maybe that just means you have a big heart but I don't think so because all it does is hurt yearning is not a love language its leftover feelings of love behind it echos and always stays,a form of self- inflicted agonizing emotional torture that feeds on unmet needs and toxic attachment to potential its a desperate,quiet hunger of love that often to stem from a fear of abandonment or a belief is ones own unworthiness,delaying healing and personal growth we keep telling ourselves that its beautiful to wait,to ache,to miss,and to quietly drown in our own softness but there's nothing noble about suffering for what will never return we've been taught that patience equals love yearning is not a romantic sign of deep love but deep tour cure the bible says it is a "deep often painful emotion" but sometimes you just can't help not to yearn its the human instinct to yearn someone who yearns is someone who does not want to be abandon and possibly has been abandon many times in the past and who gets attached to easily I'm the definition of yearning when we yearn,we yearn for something that makes us feel more whole, more peaceful,more us,we're trying to reach across and absence and fill it in yearning mostly always one-sided, that's just a fact. yearning hurts because it is a complex,primal emotion state combining deep desire to be loved and the frustration of unmet need for love that never get met from the one yearning for me I think yearning an addiction...I think that's worse than any drugs I have taken.
