the part of adulthood that nobody prepared me for was how some nights you’re like “yknow what? i’m in the mood to cook a full 12-course meal for myself” and other nights you’re like “tortilla chips are basically an entire meal it’s fine”
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love sleeping alone in my bed and being able to completely sprawl out. But there’s something about being woken up in the middle of the night to your person scooting over and grabbing you closer. Even when you sleep on your stomach and angled all weird yet they still find a place to comfortably lay their head on your back and intertwine their legs with yours.
while we’re at this “i want a gf/bf” trend, i’d like to say that it’s important to remember to please not mistake your need to fulfill years of loneliness and neglected love for a real desire to be in a relationship.
it’s risky not only for your partner to be with someone who wants them to compensate all the love they didn’t have, but it’s absolutely dangerous for you to jump into any opportunity to date and to be given affection, because you might end up dating people who will not only take advantage of you, but might hurt you as well.
having a partner and sharing affection is an amazing experience, but it’s something that takes work, time and maturity. sometimes, you’re just not ready for it yet - but that doesn’t mean you’ll never be. take a deep breath: love will come to you just in time!
