Is love worth it?

A question that has a million answers. You could yes, you say no. You could say it depends on the situation and you could say it depends on the person. This debate can go one for a long time. I’ll admit I have never fallen in love with anyone. However I have witnessed it as a third person. I saw it at times of happiness and bliss and time of darkness and pain. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions. You’re up and high one minute, and down and low the next.

So back to the question, is it worth it? You always hear people running away from their families for the sake of love, eloping with someone because their parents disagreed. Lying, manipulating everyone around them, even their closest friends. It just spirals out of control until you are left alone, because you cut out everyone just to be with him. I know this an extreme scenario but it does happen. I saw it happen and it broke my heart. She is my best friend; someone who is like a sister to me. So was it worth it?

In her case it wasn’t worth it because after everything, the fire died down, and I don’t how, but she realised and left him. After 4 years of him breaking her heart, she was the one who got up and left him.

We all moved forward, I am still close to her, but the memories are still there. Her family still remembers the days she ran away and lied and did anything to see this guy. The damage was done and sometimes time cannot heal the wounds.

So I believe that, your family should always come first. If they say no, then it is a no. Not having their blessings is a curse and after everything they did for you, why would you leave them for someone who you’ve known for a shorter period of time. You should never make love your whole life; it should be part of your life. Never let it overwhelm you, because an extreme of anything is bad.
