What helps me is not to obsess over romance, but … hmm… how do I put this…. I remember! Obsess over someone before the idea of romance . Why worry if that person doesn’t exist in our lives, now or ever? I suppose we know there can’t not be plenty of people like that so the uncertainty is what gets us. Will I get to know them ever or not?
Also what helps is making the most out of the friendships we have than trying to ask for more from of a relationship we don’t have. Basically, who needs it when I’ve got you or you guys ?
But understandably, we do yearn for something a little extra than friendship sometimes. That more permanent bond, the trust, the degree of closeness.
