I wasn’t asked to a single dance in high school and didn’t have a serious romantic relationship until I was 22. And like, yeah that shit hurt when I was younger. I had a lot of fears that I was unlovable and that I didn’t deserve to be happy. And every time I would try to talk to anyone about it, the conversation became, “you’ll find someone”, when it should have been, “you don’t need a relationship or a date, you’re lovable & complete & beautiful on your own”.
So yeah, please normalize young people not dating, and please stop shaming them for it. There’s more to life than romance, despite what the media wants us to think.
this takes me back to 2008 when taylor went around everywhere saying joe jonas dumped her in a 27 second phone call to earn sympathy when in reality, he later explained that the call only lasted that long because she HUNG UP on him….like… nice try… *blasts Much Better by the jo bros while cackling manically* ….it’s about time her victim card expired
