This post is a shout out to all the rejected people on here. If you feel negative about yourself, then I'm sorry. That shit sucks.
This post is also a shout out to the people who are somehow doing 'ok' in the dating arena. That's great. Just dont think that you're immune to self-reflection and growth just because you found that 'person.'
People get so complacent with themselves in relationships.
For the rejected people like myself, it's hard to see that others could ever find you desirable. You wonder what's wrong with you.
I wrote in another post that dating should never be the endgame. Growing as a person should be. It ideally never stops. Even when you're 70 years and above, your personal growth journey should never stop.
Emotionally, it can also be dangerous to be in a relationship. Now that you have 'that person,' you may be tempted to coast on your personal development.
Please resist that urge. The relationship you have with yourself should still be the most important thing. Don't forget that. Post that shit on a wall to look at everyday.
