i see so many posts and “inspirational” quotes that say: “you’ll meet the right person when you’re happy/busy/not looking.”
and i’m sorry, but i have to call bullshit on this notion.
life/god/fate/etc. is not going to withhold something as wonderful for you as true love from you because you’re not happy, not busy, not where you want to be in life, and looking/hoping for a relationship.
and believing these quotes puts an unbelievable amount of guilt and pressure on single people. we may feel like we’re doing something wrong by looking for a relationship or by not being our happiest selves. we may feel like we’re not doing enough or that we’re far behind from where we need to be.
i believe that true love comes to you no matter the circumstances. and it comes when its supposed to, not when you want it to.
so let’s erase this narrative that love only comes to you unexpectedly or when you’re happy. and let’s remind ourselves that love will come when it comes. no pressure. no rush. all hope and faith.
