Dear Wanna be Majnu/Laila,
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love"

Longings are another story altogether. What do we seek? Escape from whom? Self? Are you so boring that you can't bear your own company? Why would someone else bear it in that case? Longing largely can be of
1. Wanting to belong
2. Desire to be understood
3. Desire to sing your song and not being judged over the quality of voice or mastery of music, only the story matters..
4. Desire to procreate or leave progeny to carry family link..
