I want to be in love, everything just falls flat though. Life shouldn't be about being in love but when you're not being anything what else is there.
I want to be yearned for but at the same time I doubt many would want my presence. Maybe I'd be a cruel lover, I can picture myself being someone that a lover ends up despising for whatever reason. There's so much that could go wrong, so little that could make or break. Then why do I want it at all? I'ts an inconveinience. Why would I want something that can become a painful memory?
Yearning to be hurt isnt smart. Affection should be worth it though, then why would everyone love to some extent. Maybe you're all just liars about love being great, a giant farce that permeates through the ages; or maybe you all are blessed and I'm being punished.

Like with many things in life, unfortunately, it's all trial and error.
This romanticized idea of love and romance has been pushed and promoted so much via TV shows and books and other forms of media, so people are quite confused and lost and unsure what to feel and how to feel, because they feel like these fictional scenarios are like a textbook definition of how "love" should be. People don't want to feel love and be in love unless this love abides the rules they've set in their heads, which can either be a good or bad thing- really depends on every individual.
However, there is -no- textbook definition of love, and everyone experiences it differently. Life is about ups and downs- and sadly, I think that's what love is about, too... Which sucks, but, you know. It is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're right. Idealizing parts of human experience is dumb, we are far from ideal. Maybe we need to re-learn that there is always some level of cruelness even in the tender moments. Doesn't make it any less worth it
