I've Never Been In A Relationship !!! (3/14)

I've Never Been In A Relationship !!!

Hi everybody, Mary here.

So, there are a lot of people, especially when Valentine's Day is rolling around, that are a little bit complaining about the fact that they've never been in a relationship, and that they are jealous of people who are in a relationship...

Let's be honest, I hate PDA as well, and nothing irritates me more than a lovey-dovey couple shoving their « love » down my throat just for the pure sake of making me jealous of them.

But let's be honest right there : I've never been in a relationship either. And it's perfectly okay !

In a world where love (and by that, I'm talking about the sexual and romantic components of love, since amato-normativity has placed romantic love above platonic love at all costs) is shoved down everyone's throats all the time, regardless of whether you like it or not, it's very important that you understand that sometimes, it's better to wait a little bit before you go in a relationship that's doomed to fail anyways.

When we're young, and/or inexperienced, we tend to believe that without love, we are incomplete. We are only whole when we find « our significant other », or when we find « our other half ». Let's be honest. No matter whether you believe in soulmates, love at first sight, or any of these myths (or not)...

Nothing's gonna change the fact that you're a whole person, whose value isn't measured by your relationship status. You are not better because you are in a relationship.

(And you're not better because you're stubbornly single, mind you.)

I just wanted to tell you, it's better to wait a little bit longer and find a person you're truly happy with, whether your love is platonic or romantic, rather than just have your heart broken because your need to be validated by society as « a functional dating human » is prioritised over your own personal health.

Let's end up this amato-normative bullsh*t, don't you agree ?

Okay, that's it for today ! I really hope you liked this post and I'll see you tomorrow with the next one in the series !

And as usual, our last word : KIDNEYS !!!
