I often think about this. I think it's tough staying strong in that belief that you know what you want and are not swayed by the feeling of 'falling behind'. Hard but worthwhile
It's crazy how timely this is. This year, as I've been coming and settling into myself, I've been conflicted about this. Do I want to experience romantic love so that I can expand my tapestry of love or do I just want to tick it off my to do list coz my peers are doing so? Thank you for writing this. It's nice to see one's experience out here with more nuance

Beautiful! True love is the love we share with the people dear to us, not just romantic partners!
and the intimate moments we share with them too :)
the so called “proof” is emerges from a place of lack of confidence, peer pressure and seeking of external validation.
very true. because when we remove those things, the need for “proof” disappears
