tell that to my mom who is twice divorced and in her 50s and all alone. i don’t want that reality for myself and if i don’t put myself out there i am essentially guaranteeing it. i don’t WANT to wait 5, 10, 15 years so that maybe a hint of love might crawl in my direction and even then i might still fuck it up.
You are right, life isn’t fair. But start with finding satisfaction in yourself, and then maybe go from there. Like hobbies, career, friends… you can still put yourself out into the world, by doing the things that make you happy and.. maybe the one for you will be doing those things too
