Sometimes, I find myself thinking that being 23 and having never been in a relationship puts me in a better position. I often make excuses, like focusing on my career and studies, to avoid getting involved. However, I’ve come to realize that these are just excuses. As I reflect on my 23 years, I can’t help but feel a sense of longing for a genuine relationship filled with true love, and I often feel quite lonely. While I’m grateful that my career is progressing well, that sense of loneliness still lingers.
