I have commented before, but I love reading all the positive talk and uplifting comments here. I think a relationship is life defining, more than many other things out there. It defines you in a way that siblings or friends just can't. That's mostly because you're opening yourself up to what's essentially a complete stranger, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable. I know what few relationships I've had, they've all been no less than a year long, and every one of them has helped to make me who I am today.
Do I regret any of them? Absolutely not. I wouldn't be here, with all of you, if it wasn't for the decisions I've made, the people I've met, and the path I have walked. It sucks being alone, but I wouldn't trade where I am for anything. I firmly believe there is somefur out there for everyone. You have only to wait, and she or he will find you in the least likely of places and the least likely of ways.
A relationship is deeper and more meaningful than just sex. It's someone that completes you, like that missing puzzle piece you've looked for for years, but the damn cat knocked it under the tv stand and it's been los my for longer than you can remember. But finally you find it! It's someone that makes you more like yourself; a better version of yourself. Your support when things go wrong. Your cheer team when something great happens.
I don't know why I decided to comment a big long post here. I don't know if anyone even wants my long-winded opinion. It's not even advice, just observations. But ... To those that have found it, don't ever let it go. To those of us who haven't, never give up hope.
Love you all.
