I’ve been single my whole life and there are times when I’m so lonely that I crave having romantic affection, but on the other hand I’m so content with the independence of my life that I don’t have space to welcome someone in how they would need to be. and I’ve been talking to this guy for a few months now and I was thinking ’omg this is going to be my first bf’ no girl it won’t be because you don’t like him and you can’t force yourself to like someone. This whole experience with him makes me feel guilty, but also content in my loneliness. a win is a win I guess! (Sorry in advance Nate but trust me im not the one)

I'm 25 and have never been in a serious relationship. In fact, the only time that I haven't been single was for two-ish months when I was 15. I'll go on a dates and hangout with someone for a month or so every 2-3 years but nothing ever comes out of. That's either bc they don't want anything serious or we just don't vibe together. To put the final nail in my coffin, I don't take dating apps seriously enough to find anything worth it on there too. It can be lonely, and I find myself occasionally doubting my worth to the world around me... But then I talk to people who are in relationships and hear the shit they have to deal with, and it's like an instant cure to all loneliness and self doubt LOL. I also just enjoy my time alone to be honest. I also lovvve love love having the whole bed to myself and my cat (he takes up enough room as is bc he loves to lay horizontally haha). I, along with everyone else who has ever existed, have problems that I want to work out in my life before I go out and actively search for a partner. When I need company, I have my friends to pour my love onto! I spend a lot of time with them doing things that are fulfilling such as community work, learning crafts, watching movies and discussing them. I will always save space in my heart to finding someone I love romantically, but for now I am focusing on having fun, building a good friend group, taking care of my mind/body/soul. I've accepted that the romance will come when I am ready for it.

I found this in my notes up from April before I met a partner of mine and was overwhelmed with a constant feeling of loneliness. He later cheated on me at the start of the month, and I felt nothing, I was released to be alone. Now that December is coming to an end, the joy of space has worn off and left a lonesome taste in my mouth. He is the most recent picture of intimacy I can claw too. I dislike him and don’t want him, I’m not sure I ever did. But god do I miss sleeping next to him, I miss his representation of warmth, not him. Anyway this little diary passage reminded me how well I know myself and how the same feelings and thoughts will continuously re imagine themself and manifest into life. 19 April 2024 ā€œWe aren’t meant to be solitary creatures We are made to hold one another Our arms fit perfectly around people for a reasonĀ  And every night I go with only my bed to keep me warm Part of my soul breaks under the discomfortĀ  The absence of someone is the presence of my lonelinessĀ  The space becomes filled with reflections of myself And I must stare back at my ghosts who haunt me with the silhouette of lovers who did not want meā€

i’ve never been in a long term relationship or i was always looking for ā€œoneā€ and i think by doing that, i never really got to appreciate the meaning of single life. i don’t need someone to take me out, i can do that. movie dates, coffee dates, spontaneous activities -- all of these things, i always thought you needed a partner to enjoy. that’s not true at all. the more i do these things, the more fun im actually having being single. and the more i learn about myself, which is the best part :)

I snatched a pair of my moms Dansko clogs out of her closet over winter break and they’re the best thing ever. I can slip them on to go to work, class, on a walk… I LOVE THEM. It’s also so snowy and slushy here and I can’t deal with wet socks, but thankfully my clogs are both platform and waterproof šŸ˜ seriously the best things ever. I’m wearing them with sweatpants in class right now actually. Bring ā€˜em back!!
