Don't get me wrong, like the vast majority I would love to meet someone and build something meaningful (romantically)
but I also do that every day of my life? Why is it any different than when I do it with new and old friends? Why is it not considered valid?
connections on dating apps feel rudimentary and disposable and the people you get a chance to meet organically there's this unspoken pressure in the air to immediately define it.
Maybe its the way the world is now, maybe everyone is insecure about where they stand and want to be validated and proved that they are worthy of being loved (which is true, we all deserve to be loved wholeheartedly) but also I like taking myself out to the movies and a slow burn that borderline hurts.
I want to be able to enjoy taking my time with everything and I want to smell the flowers and inspect the crack in the wall and look at the wrinkle on someone's forehead to the point of awkwardness.
I just want to take my time :)
