Thank you for nudging me, reminding me someone out there is eager to read whatever I put out here, even if it doesn’t make sense. Thank you.

The people you choose to settle for, at the end of the day they end up hurting you the most Fr tho Just do you cause it's just one life we all have and you definitely do not want to spend the rest of your life with someone that you don't feel connected.

Exactly! Settling for the wrong person will have you searching for peace (desperately). It will only bring you pain, and it’s funny how they manage to do that! Like you said, life is too short to not DO YOU.

Thank you for reading, Taiwo. 🤭

"Please don't cringe too much to like me." line was too real. Because I could see foolish me doing this, now me tho. I don't plan on staying like that, it's pathetic and looks desperate.

Omg! 😂😂

I feel you because we’ve all been there. I like that you recognize and want to work on it. Don’t stay like that at all. 🤣🤣

While I can't relate to the talking stage, never been in one. I think being stuck with two adults is so close to hell especially when they're both on your case, I'm happy you survived that 😂. Reading this was healing, warm and heart melting. I'm a romantic, I think love every minute every day, all year round. But I've felt it just once and for one person my entire life, funny? It was mutual tho, but nothing happened, and since then I haven't tried, I've just been living and admiring from a distance. Idk about every other human, but I just feel that for me, when my heart sees somebody that will reignite the same feeling I felt hopelessly in jss1, I'll know that this is it. So, as much as I rant and ramble about being single, I'm weirdly not worried about love, because I love love already. So now I just live, and read and binge watch my romcom and catch butterflies for other couples. Feels like I wrote an entire Substack for a comment, don't mind me. Just ease up, hm. It will all fall in to place, with God at the forefront.

I'm telling you! Being stuck with two adults is so uncomfortable. I'm glad I survived that too. I just wished I could've done or said something better.

Aww 🥹🥹 I'm also a sucker for love, but one thing I believe is that there's someone out there for every one of us. Keep believing in love, because it will find you when the time is right. Reading this alone is inspiring because of how much you believe in yourself, so I'm trusting you to wait and do it right.

I don't even know if I should thank you or send virtual hugs. You made me grin from ear to ear while reading this beautiful comment. Your encouragement means a lot! Thank you so much, Seun! 🥹🫂
