Imagine this and perhaps you will know how it hurts.
You step out on a faithful day, take a very beautiful picture and decide to make a post on that social media platform. To your utmost surprise, it gets reposted by an unexpected amount of people. You check your comment and there is this guy who drops the most thrilling comment.
You are motivated to post more pictures. Each time you post, this same guy reposts and drops the most beautiful comment. One day, he enter your DM with a 'hi'. You check his profile, and he turns out to be the most beautiful guy you've ever seen.
Days turn into nights and nights into weeks. You begin to fall in love. It may have been his intelligent way of chatting, or how caring and sweet he appeared to be. From chatting deep into the night to video calling and using the, 'I miss you ', 'I love you' word.
Through the course of your conversations, you find out you both did not live very far apart. Even if you did, transportation has bridged that gap for you. When he asked to come see you, you were very excited. The first time you saw him in person, you discover that he looked more beautiful in person than in picture. Wow, you must have hit a jackpot.
Let's not forget that he booked a hotel room where you both slept that night. You still remember how good he was, how he left you shaking after a sinful night.
Every now and then, you meet in a hotel. Sometimes, you take him to your house. Afterall, there is something strong between you too. You get too carried away that you cannot stay a day without missing his sweet face.
You miss him so much to the extent that each time he comes to see you in the hotel room, you both forget to use protection while getting entangled in bed. Or maybe it didn't matter, as long as you loved each other.
After a few months, you perceive the attention he gives you begin to dwindle. His visitations become infrequent, and soon, he stopped coming. You find it hard to reach him online. He is rarely online, and when he is, he rarely replies. He tells you he has been busy with work. This soon becomes a constant excuse. When you insist he gives a better reason, he tells you he is tired and that you were just an available lady in his pursuit of pleasure. You cry a few nights and decide to move on.
After sometime, you realize you missed your period, and when you take a test, it comes out positive for pregnancy. You cry bitterly. You cry more after you try to reach him, but discovers he has blocked you on all platform. It is then you realize that you do not know where he live.
Imagine what happens if you keep the baby.
Also, imagine successfully aborting the baby and living with guilt all your life
Again, imagine if you decide to terminate the baby and end up loosing your life or your womb, and living with the guilt of murderer hanging on your neck
Imagine the cycle of how a stranger you met on social media messes up your life and disappears into thin air.
Imagine this scenarios and tell me which is more painful.
