As an impatient overthinker, I’m not capable of anything remotely casual in a relationship. I don’t want to jinx my current relationship, but at the very least, I hope I never have to go through another “talking stage” again.
The vision of my crush-life felt like one of those black and white cowboy movies where the tumbleweeds dance across the screen. Or maybe an attic full of cobwebs.
It seems as though romantic love is presented as being the only way we can find fulfillment — but getting to know who you truly are outside of the context of how you appear to others is essential to self development and, ultimately, self love.
