I pretty much just realized that people still romanticize things about love a lot. Being busy with my life and spending time with friends and family I don’t really have time to give in to the temptation of romance.

I guess i used to be pretty crazy of love, made so many embarrassing memories, and being drag around in the name of love until i got myself together, learned that i was just lonely and relationship with the base of romantic feeling that i felt made a great escape.

I think it’s just nauseating to deal with love now. Especially in pandemic, where your love language is physical touch, it would be a torture to fall in love. Romance feels like a good advertisement to meet someone then fall in love and be together but when you are in a relationship, you kinda have to take care of other people besides yourself. That’s the one thing people mostly forget.

Every now and then when I’m seeing someone I will start to think about am I gonna be able to take care of him and his feelings besides of myself? That is my key to not be driven around by an impulsive need for love. Think about it, it’s really disrespectful to take someone for granted when the person is really sincere about his/her feelings.

Then start to think when you’re gonna dive right into the temptation of a relationship will you purely do it for yourself or for the sake of both of you.
