I miss when my default state of mind was hopefulness, and happiness.
I don’t think most people realize how sad I am the majority of the time.
There is never a moment of my day where the emptiness of my life and the possibility of a future where I never find love or fulfillment are not on my mind.
Sometimes I think lasting romantic love is only for people who are mundane and uncomplicated. That people like me, with strong negative emotions and a tendency to overthink, aren’t worthy of it.
Another year, another decade, are upon us. As much as I’d love to feel hopeful about it, I’m not sure I can.
Hi Katie,
Your blog was on “the best blogs for 20 somethings” and I’m 23, that’s how I discovered it. Just read this blog post – I’m sure there are people who can relate to this message at some point in their life. I can remember having similar thoughts too. So, we’re not alone.
I’m sure life has something special for you in the future, so when you feel like giving up on hope I hope you don’t. You’ve got the Fire within, right??
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and please remember, no matter what, YOU ARE WORTHY OF LOVE! Be strong, Katie!!!
