No, we're not soulmates. This is not divine intervention. And this is most certainly not chance. I willed this. I knit the threads of fate myself until they spelled your name.

I love you intentionally. I love you with every bit of conscience I was born with.

Have you ever had a bf ? I never did

Should I feel that I'm not desirable or that beautiful ??

I didn’t really care about dating until I met my current boyfriend, and even then it was so slow that “slowburn” feels generous haha. but I never once saw the absence of a relationship as a reflection of my beauty or worth, and neither should you.

dating is not a measure of desirability. it’s not a test you pass. you’re not “undated” because you’re not beautiful; you’re "undated" because the timing hasn’t lined up, because people are weird, and because modern romance is often awkward and inconsistent. that’s not about you.

your beauty isn’t waiting to be unlocked by someone else’s approval. there’s nothing wrong with being single. there’s nothing lacking in you. sometimes love arrives slowly, or later than you expected. that doesn’t make you less desirable.

and as silly as it sounds, love does often arrive when you least expect it. if you had asked me a year ago, I probably would’ve giggled at the idea of being in a relationship now. the most important thing is to focus on yourself: on your goals, your growth, and finding beauty in your own world. love will come eventually, and when it does, it should highlight your beauty, not define it.
