Thereβs so much more to life than finding someone who will want you, or being sad over someone who doesnβt. Thereβs a lot of wonderful time to be spent discovering yourself without hoping someone will fall in love with you along the way, and it doesnβt need to be painful or empty. You need to fill yourself up with love. Not anyone else. Become a whole being on your own. Go on adventures, fall asleep in the woods with friends, wander around the city at night, sit in a coffee shop on your own, write on bathroom stalls, leave notes in library books, dress up for yourself, give to others, smile a lot. Do all things with love, but donβt romanticize life like you canβt survive without it. Live for yourself and be happy on your own. It isnβt any less beautiful, I promise.
