Why does it feel so hard just to love someone and be loved?
Should it really be this complicated? I don’t even want anything crazy; I just want to care about someone, to feel safe with them, to be held and understood. But it feels like there are so many rules, so many restrictions, so many “not allowed” moments that make something so human feel impossible.
I genuinely feel like I’m stuck between space where I’m trying to resist temptation, but at the same time suppressing completely normal feelings. And it’s getting exhausting.
I don’t even talk about this openly because I feel like people will judge or just say “be patient” but it’s not that simple when you’re actually living it.
It’s getting harder to ignore the desire for connection, the simple need to be close to someone. Idk how people wait until their 30s to get married.
