Romantic love is not a competitive sport. You’re running your own race.

“Romantic love is not a competitive sport. You’re running your own race. We don’t dig or not dig people based on a comparison chart of body measurements, intellectual achievements, and personality quirks. We dig them because we do.” - Cheryl Strayed

For anyone who thinks that they are getting left behind because they haven’t had a boyfriend/girlfriend yet. Or all of their friends are coupling up. Or any other doubts plaguing you that you will end up alone forever.

This quote helped me weather many failed first dates, constant third wheeling, and lonely nights wishing I could share with someone else. I hope it gives you comfort as well.

Take a minute and just breathe. Finding love is not a competitive sport.
