I was reading about Amanda Kloots surviving her husband, Nick Cordero's death from Covid. She mentioned how the day to day things became so important: “We always grocery shopped together, at the same store and bought the same things,” she wrote. “Some of those little moments that you would never think of as really mattering have haunted me the most.” (I'll link to the article in the comments).
It's a heartbreaking story of love and loss, and not always good behavior, but they loved each other. They had their relationship, and a child, too. Relationships are the glue to the richest part of life.
When you think about it, at the start, middle, end, throughout your life, what is most important? It's the relationships you have and the love you experience. Everything else is secondary.
Things are secondary. You can be happy without things, but not without love, with someone to share it all with.
If you haven't found your relationship yet, why is that? If you're hanging out on evenings with wine + friends, or Netflix, for ex., you may get to a point where it's more *uncomfortable* to accept an invite to go out! Could you be protecting yourself from the risks and joys of living fully?
If you do want to be in a relationship, you have to take action, get out there, and continue getting out there in person and online. Keep trying different things! If your online profile isn't working, keep tweaking it. I guarantee the guys are there - you have a marketing problem 😁 The only way to begin the process is to begin, and keep going.
