You Keep Loving Vampires.
The concept of scarcity is not limited to resources; it applies to your life, love, and energy—the three elements. Think about your favourite product, something so precious that you use it with care because, deep down, you know it will run out or depreciate. You treat it gently because you understand its expiry. Its limitation makes you value it.
But why don’t we have the same mindset for our life, love, and energy? Why do we waste these three elements as if they are endless? Why do we give love to those who don’t deserve it and hurt us in return? Why do we pour our energy into lifting people out of darkness when they push us into pits full of regret, heartbreak, and sadness, never offering us a hand back?
And life, the most limited of all, why do we spend it on people who give nothing but lifelong trauma? People who play with your sanity, memories, and perspective. Who manipulate and gaslight you until you start accusing yourself and doubting your own actions.
Listen: it’s wasteful. When you can’t tolerate wasting your favourite product, why waste your life, love, and energy? Stop pouring into the cups of people who would turn against you in a second and still demand more. One day, you’ll realize you have run out of these elements.
Stop waiting for someone to pour a glass for you just because you treated them with an open heart. Close your heart before they take it, play with your veins, drink your blood, and still ask for more. What will you give then? To satisfy those bloodthirsty vampires of your life who suck the life out of your soul?
So take your heart back before it’s too late. Live the life you deserve. It will hurt to leave them because we always crave validation from those who treated us like a non-living fancy product and did us wrong but the pain of leaving is nothing compared to the pain of losing yourself.


This is such a brilliant reminder to be watchful of those we dispense our love and energy to.
Also, I'm writing a three-part book which is composed of reflective prose pieces, poetry and fictional stories. I'd like to add your write-up if you don't mind☺️
Love me a good vampire story! I feel like they are a perfect synthesis of both contemporary philosophical work (in some way) and fantasy.
