Have you ever been told about the phrase, "Maybe you're finding love in the wrong place and at the wrong time"? But what exactly is the right time and where exactly is the right place? It was never taught in schools and churches, right? Even our parents don't discuss this topic with us.
I've been wandering around the internet for a long time and I've seen people ask and find love in many different ways. I also encountered this kind of acts person. Sometimes they use apps to go on a date with someone or just simply chat with each other online.
But, have you thought of what if now is the right time but you were not yet ready. It's always the right time. It's just that, it's going to be up for us on how we deal with it. We meet people along the way, we get infatuated and sometimes fall in love. But what if this doesn't end well?
Why do we seek a romantic relationship?
If your age is around late adolescents, then you might be starting to have a crush or wanting to be in a romantic relationship. But, what is the reason behind this? Let's assess it.
The first reason that we can look is that we get pressured by our peers, the people around us. Especially when some or majority of our friends has or is already in a romantic relationship. Others feel left out and think that the only reason to catch up is to be in a relationship. But it doesn't make sense at all. Love should make you feel special and not included in a particular group. Love constitutes growth.
The second reason, you just want to taste the feeling of love. To try and experience it. Sometimes we feel that we want to love but the real thing is that we are just in love with the idea of being in a relationship. I've felt this way a lot of times but I assessed myself if I am really ready, and I'm not.
We have different timetables and one day, you will get the love that you deserve. No need to rush. Take care of yourself and the right people will come into your life.
Final Thoughts...
To seek love is a human thing to do. But seeking love at the wrong time and places can take you to places that are going to be the reason why you became lost. There might be several reasons why you seek love, it can be validation or the love you did not receive when you are still a child.
Love is like respect, it can always be gained but should not be imposed. You cannot make people love and adore you. And pretending to be someone that you are not just to be loved is not going to help you. Listen, if you keep pretending to be someone just to fit in, then who's going to be you? Sometimes we force ourselves to become other people because we feel like people are going to like us based on how we are perceived as good by others, but it's not.
One should realize that there is no need to copy others, that remaining authentic is an asset nowadays. That he/she can be loved just the way they are.
