Couples have dated for 10 years then got married & divorced after a year. Strangers have fucked on the 1st date & now are celebrating their 15th anniversary. Some get married after 6 months & are still happily married. There is no formula to this. Do what makes you fucking happy.
In elementary school when we would have read out loud to the class from the textbook I would literally count the kids in front of me and figure out what section I was reading so I could practice it before it got to my turn & I think that’s where my anxiety started.
