If it helps, I’m 31 and still forever single, and I’ve discovered a lot more of us in the same boat than it feels when I’m viewing a constant stream of engagements and pregnancy announcements on social media. It’s a weird position to be in, but as you say, love can look like so many things!

community always helps as well, knowing you are not the only one makes you realize that it is completely okay to be forever single!!! <3

It also really helps to read and watch other non cishet romances. I think your journey is really common. There are so many types of love and it sounds like you're finding them. I'm one of those people that loves everything - the light in autumn, the rooks shouting, Skyrim mods, fantasy novels, the sound of pages turning, i cried walking through our little forest because of all the trees they fell down in storm Eowyn, and my friends who live so far away. My friends are everything. Pu-erh tea. At 21 absolutely no one was asking me about a partner which I was grateful for. I wasn't looking, I was adventuring. I ended up moving thousands of miles away for a degree. Then marrying a clinic who is actually a romantic. You know, that person who wants magic to be real but you couldn't tell because they are so grounded in reality? The two of us are silly. There are so many types of love stories out there and I'd read yours.
