Re: loneliness - I think if you're meeting people and are generally pretty content with your life, there's no need to feel lonely at all! Even if other people your age/in your friends group are getting married, or have partners - it's not a requirement for a happy life. If you don't feel you need a partner right now, then nobody has any right to tell you otherwise - at least that's what I believe. I don't think romantic relationships are inherently worth 'more' than platonic relationships.
The important thing is that you're not isolated I think - we all need to feel some sort of connection to other people - but even then, what that looks like differs wildly for people. I know some people who meet groups of friends every weekend - I'd feel smothered by that much contact ahaha.
Sending you hugs. I hope you're okay (heart)
SAAAAIIII!!! I MISSED YOUUUUU!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Sai! Yeah, I was in my head the other day and realizing I'm just forcing myself to want things because it's what people (er...just some specific people) around me say is "normal". And I had to rebuke myself like why tf am I listening to them lol. Ugh, it's been a sort of mental rollercoaster but I think I'm otw to be okay now.
Sending lots of hugs back! Hope you are doing well! (Also have you heard of the new game Love and Deepspace? There's a clown there that reminded me of Marius lol.)
