I wasnât asked to a single dance in high school and didnât have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didnât deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, âyouâll find someoneâ, when it should have been, âyou donât need a relationship or a date, youâre lovable & complete & beautiful on your ownâ.
So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. Thereâs more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
