Now let me tell you something.
Be brave.
Stop expecting relationships to last forever.
When the default is “forever” and shorter relationships are seen as a failure, we miss out on a lot.
We stay in relationships that don’t work because they’re not “bad enough” to leave, as though not wanting the relationship anymore isn’t a good enough reason.
We deny ourselves happy memories, saying “If it doesn’t work now, our love then wasn’t real.”
We pass on relationships we know would be short, because if it doesn’t last forever, what’s the point in joy in the moment?
It is an unhealthy expectation that you find THE ONE and that you are together until you both die of old age, and if it doesn't work out then everything is betrayal and tragedy.
There is nothing wrong with outgrowing each other, and separating peacefully and enjoying ones alone time.
Most people just can't stand to be alone and give up to the social pressure of marriage.
If loneliness doesn't scare you, you will always be brave enough to walk away from any relationship that doesn't fulfill your existence.
Be brave.
