I've never been in love. I don't think.

I've had all emcompassing crushes that I obsessed over and cried over and mourned when it ended.

I've had all encompassing lust when all I wanted to was to be consumed and surrounded by my current beau. It died in a fit of passion and the mourning period was brief.

As I get older it happens less. I go

It sounds like you and your mom have an incredible relationship.

It seems like you are fully invested in, and happy with, your life, with or without some romantic notion of true love. That's a good place to be.

This is beautifully written and beautifully sad.

Shalom, y'all!

Very relatable to me, for sure. But it also depends on what you value the most... is love a priority in your life?

If love really is something you value, then you have to do something to get it. It means exiting your "comfort zone" to do it. But really, nothing worthwhile is necessarily easy... Good luck!!
