You don't get to choose who you fall in love with. You don't get to make a list of all the things you want and choose the best candidate from the list. It's not a job interview, and even then, you don't always get the best. No one's perfect. Not even perfect you. People just are, and you accept them, flaws and all. And love, it never happens the way you plan for it to happen.

I had lead myself to believe that I was undesirable, and I designed the filter with the goal of proving myself correct. It was confirmation bias. I knew that if I set up unrealistic standards under the guise of compatibility, I would end up with the conclusion that I tried and failed. This seemed to me a more acceptable end result.

I feared no one could ever love me. That I was not emotionally and mentally capable of the load-bearing weight of loving someone else.

Some things in life just don't make sense. It's like all the confounding factors in the world decided to gang up on you.

Not fighting is not feeling. Not feeling is not being anything. Do you really think you can live like that?
