we NEED to normalize being in your 20's and having 0 experience with love & relationships. you are not unloveable. you are not ugly. you are not broken. you are not a lost cause. not prioritizing romantic love isn't embarrassing. it is never "too late". take your time.
on a serious note, i really do hope i grow old with someone. not under desperation or validation but safety and comfort. i don't want to be alone forever, i wanna love and be loved
