find the right reason
When everyone is posting their lovely moments with their life partner, it’s very hard to congratulate them from the depths of the lonely hearts.
It gets harder when we see our closest with their partner, building a new family, and settling into life.
It’s not jealousy.
It’s not bitterness.
It’s the quiet emptiness of having someone.
And when your own family starts asking questions, the feeling deepens. Quietly and deeply.
It’s the quiet feeling of being left behind.
And that feeling pushes many people into relationships—not because they’re ready, but because they’re tired of waiting.
Most of the time it’s gone wrong with commitments.
They start with the wrong reasons.
Some of them are:
- Pressure from friends and family—when you are given a deadline for love.
- Feeling like a failure for being single—and you seem behind by the society.
- Being together for the image—because the relationship looks nice in imagination, even if it feels wrong.
- Believing love alone will fix everything—every emptiness connects with loneliness.
But everything that makes a relationship work requires one thing: genuine admiration for each other.
Without that, time, effort, and compromise slowly turn into disgust.
No one can fully fill your emptiness.
The only reason you should ever be with the person you’re with is because you simply love being around them.
It really is that simple.
This is Ashik.
If my words resonated with you, you can buy me a coffee, clap 50+, leave a response, or follow along for what comes next.
Your support simply means you felt something—and that’s enough for me.
