@Br1an i am a hopeless romantic and dream of my love life a lot, BUT it's okay if it takes time cause the right person will come at the right time (and rn it's definitely NOT the right time for me). my advice is just focus on yourself and your life stability! when you're in a good spot in your life, your love will grace you. that's how i think about it! even if it makes me sad, i know that i'll have my happily ever after someday AND if it takes a lot of time that just means you didn't accept bullshit from fake a** people and believed in your safety before anything else, so that's a really good thing!
