Love doesn't fix anything

[bongmentos]

Some of you out there believe that there's someone out there for you that will make life worth living. We all want to be cradled in someone's arms, be told that everything's alright, that we are unconditionally loved. I'm here to tell you that it doesn't fix anything.

It doesn't make you whole, doesn't make you right, to be told you're someone's reason for living. Especially when they live in as much suffering as you, want to die as much as you, would abandon this world if not for you. But even with them here, it's not living. It's waking up, worrying, going to sleep. An endless loop.

Love is never enough.

If I didn't had my numerous bodily health issues most of my mental issues would have been fixed with some love, but since love does not heal an aching body, then yea... love won't fix my life as it is currently now.

' to be told you're someone's reason for living. Especially when they live in as much suffering as you, want to die as much as you, '

this sounds like a very unhealthy relationship so obviously it wont fix anything sadly. im not trying to invalidate your feelings, but genuine healthy love can actually help, a lot. its just verrryyyy rare to obtain

If love isn't enough to make life worth living, then what is? And what do the people who think their life is worth living have that suicidal people don't? Wondering this myself.

A lot of people share your sentiments too. Some ctb because of loneliness as a major factor, others meanwhile will still say they're miserable even with a supportive family, partner, and friends.

Love is never enough because it doesn't change your own perception of yourself, it only changes how you're perceived by others.

Some might be envious you're loved. Others might assume you're okay and your life is fine because you're being loved.

In your case, you seem to have the added responsibility of being someone's reason for living, which, as mentioned by @clawsprit sounds unhealthy. Centering your entire existence around one person certainely isn't normal
