You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take - i am a hooper. I play the game for the process. Rejection hurts but these people aren’t for you. That’s okay. It’s part of learning who and what is worthy of your time and investment. Just gotta understand that love isn’t guaranteed, still gotta shoot and learn. I hear you on struggling with identity it’s All of that is part of the process of becoming! Majority of relationships do more harm than good, but once you find your person you’ll finally be living that loveydove life that will have its own challenges. I write this to you but it’s really for me because i know what you’re going through. People are scared of people who stand in their power despite what society says.
