There is something deeply exhausting about the "digital disposability" of modern dating, where people are just a swipe away and ghosting has become the default way to end a conversation. It feels like we’ve traded depth for convenience, losing that sacred patience required to truly know someone. There’s a quiet beauty in the idea of slow-burning commitment—of earning someone’s trust through time, consistency, and the weight of handwritten words rather than fleeting notifications. We’re living in an era of instant gratification, and it’s completely normal to crave a love that requires actual character, endurance, and the intentional choice to stay.

Unpopular opinion, but why would I waste seven years of my life yearning for someone who knew where I was? I would rather go somewhere that I’m not interested in after a couple weeks then fall madly in love with someone and wait for them while they’re out with someone else living their best life .
