To be in step with someone else who has that passion coursing through each beat of their heart, and to build something alongside the same person who inspired that journey.
That’s a partnership. That is passion and that is an intense connection. But it doesn’t mean it’s romance.
It drives me nuts when people online think Sydney and Carmy should be together in the final season of The Bear.
Have people become so devoid of connection, that any sort of connection with others greater than mild becomes mistaken for romance?

Recently visited MONA, and came across the Hiroshima in Tasmania – The Archive for The Future exhibit.
It was interesting to take a look at and move on. But when staff invited me to "commemorate the tragedy," I felt that familiar ick.

Another used to run a (illegal?) clinic from his apartment when we met and stopped for a couple of years, but according to publicly available business records he might have started again.
Also, his ex (prior to myself) got married to the guy she cheated on old mate with.
But boys when single and desperate, gravitate towards right-wing echo chambers, blaming society for their issues and rarely reflect on what they could do better as individuals.
Have you thought about, perhaps, getting a haircut and taking a shower? Picking up pickleball?
Utterly fascinating how girls, when single and desperate to appeal to the other gender; they learn to dress up, pick up different hobbies, and actively try to socialize.
This signals introspection and internalized improvement, showing how they have adapted for the other party.
