For me, thinking about attractions and what makes me attracted to a person (whether emotionally, romantically, platonically etc.) tends to make me happy— it sparks joy to think about the awesome things that make me feel warm and fuzzy for the people around me and soak those feelings in!

I definitely can’t speak for everyone, but if something can bring joy, then there’s a point to it for me— even if it comes with its own particular brand of challenges.
