I feel like my one true want in life is a real romantic love. And yes I have a job I have a degree I have career plans I have friends I have hobbies I have interests I have spent time alone. Nothing changes it.

It feels like a constant and it’s so frustrating. It’s the one thing I want and have always wanted but it’s beyond my control. I know that life has value outside of it. But deep down I am never satisfied no matter how successful I am or how many hobbies I pick up or friends I make.

Do other people feel this way? Or am I alone?

I feel so stupid because I feel like this one-dimensional being who genuinely only cares about one thing but it’s always there it consumes my mind.

Idk this is just a middle of the night ramble because I feel so alone in this.

Yeah girl I feel you. I try to spend time with friends and family, focus on my career, focus on my interests.. but the lingering desire for true romantic love is always there.

your not alone and it’s very hard. I want to spend my life along where we both add on to eachothers happiness and successes alot. I just remind myself to not settle for anything or the bare minimum despite how much i want it . I would really enjoy a kind, respectful, empathetic, passionate, caring, and hardworking partner, and if those aren’t met I rather be sulking about it honestly. I dated someone for 4 months and let little things slide just cause he was “close”, it was a huge mistake

Yeah I don’t want to settle either. It just feels hopeless and I’d rather be single than in the wrong relationship, but god I hate being single. I hate it so much.
