Is it everyone longing for romance or something like that?
I myself have been feeling this craving for romance and I've been filling it with romance media: movies, music, series, animes, etc. I like romance as a genere of media, but lately I'm feeling different and I don't know why. I was talking to a friend and they were feeling like this as well, and then today I also read a post talking about this, so maybe there is a syndrome that every single person goes through? is it the fact that I'm growing up and trying to figure out life? or is it just this generation that likes romance but find it hard to fall in love?
I don't want a partner right now, but the longing for an intimate connection it's there, floating around in my head. I already talked about this in this post I wrote, I still haven't met someone that made me feel in love (in a romantic way) or even a simple crush so I know that in the future, finding someone it's going to be hard.
I watched "You've got mail" some days ago (great movie by the way) and there was a quote that resonates with me:
There is the dream of someone else
I feel like that right now, dreaming of someone who doesn't exist. I like to be alone, I really enjoy my solitude, but the "would it be nice" is every time stronger. I've thought a lot about this, for me love it's complicated and that's why I find people that choose love very brave. I don't know if I'm brave enough.
I know that we can't force love, so I don't look at people as if they were a dating option, I've never done it. I live my life thinking "if someday someone makes me feel different, then I'll try". I guess time will tell if romance it's for me or not and in the mean time I'll keep watching romance media.
Thanks for reading :)
