Kādal Kaḍal

Endless Love

Modern relationships are often intricate and far from linear. There are countless layers within friendships, marriages, and romantic partnerships. As individuals navigate the immense pressures imposed by a demanding social structure that insists on perfection in every facet of life, many buckle under the weight of these expectations.

In their quest for connection, people often seek affection wherever they feel seen and heard, gravitating toward digital spaces that offer fleeting validation. This stems from a deeper emotional need for external recognition, a way to confirm one’s worth in an overwhelming world. Alongside this, there is a growing dependence on substances, which offer temporary relief, providing a false sense of relaxation and self-worth. This piece delves into the nuanced layers of the human desire to be acknowledged and loved. It explores how this desire, when left unfulfilled, can propel individuals into debilitating choices, leaving them trapped in a cycle of seeking affirmation in unhealthy spaces.
