The love I never thought I’d find
I grew up in believing the Disney-style of love, where the good guys will meet their one true love and they live happily ever after. I thought that if I was kind and patient enough, someone will come into my life and I’ll live the Disney dream. I aspired to be as Disney-like as I could, except for the“talking to animals” part. I did try - but I just looked crazy and I got annoyed that I was basically talking to myself. I kept a pet rock, though, so that’s a bonus.

The world feels more quiet; lonelier even.
But maybe it is. I try to be as optimistic as I can about things I’m going through. Countless job applications with no reply? There’s more jobs to apply to. Job interviews that bear no fruit? Rejection is redirection. Almost a year of doing nothing? God is probably asking me to rest and take it easy for now. If anyone asks how I’m doing? I’ll just say I’m doing okay.

If it was meant for me, if the time was right - I would have already gotten it.
And I did have a plan, since I was 17. I spent years sticking to my plan like a checklist. Finish high school, check. Get into a psychology programme, check. Graduate from university, check. All that’s left is to get a job, buy a car, get a house, get married, have at least 2 kids. I held this plan close to my heart and it was all I could think about when I imagine myself in 5-10 years. I believed that if I stayed on track, everything would be alright. That my parents’ efforts were not for nothing.
