Dating in this era has made me feel like a profile to be swiped past

0 support0 reactions2 replies
Endless matches, endless small talk that goes nowhere, the constant low hum of being evaluated and evaluating. I miss meeting someone slowly, by accident, without a menu of alternatives one thumb away. I am not bitter, just tired of marketing myself for love. When did connection start feeling like a numbers game?

You are carrying a lot. You are allowed to put some of it down here. We will help hold it for a bit.

Sometimes the bravest thing is simply admitting how heavy it has been. You just did that. That counts for so much more than it feels like.
