Good points. I sometimes get so caught up in the idea of being in a relationship that I forget about what the whole point of it is. To share love. The funny thing is I don't even know if I want to be in one and maybe the pressure I am feeling is due to the expectation placed on me by a myriad of sources. It feels like I have to get it checked off the list of what 'normal' people my age should be doing, otherwise there is something the matter with me. Perhaps I am just saying that to make myself feel better though. There is a longing for something or someone, but maybe that can be fulfilled in another way. My real fear is that if I continue to be passive (what I see as being passive anyways) I will remain without a partner (is that so tragic though?).
Can you actually live a meaningful life without ever being in a romantic relationship or would you be missing out on something important?
It's nice to see you posting again Adonai.
