In this current time, it’s quite hard to find someone to love.. or even someone to befriend for that matter. You can chat with them for a few weeks/a month or two, have them say that you actually sounds pretty cool and then … nothing.
While it’s perfectly fine if you don’t feel the need to have any romance in your life, nothing wrong with that, I do really ache for it. Combined with having only two IRL friends along with my parents & weeins, things feels quite lonely at times.
I wanna say I have a similar idea of love as Becca in The Upside of Falling; Although romance books do very much hurts me, in the way that I always cry at one point or another 😅, atleast I know that they’ll always be there — if it makes sense.
I love the idea of so many stories having a broken MC, or damaged in some way just like me, getting to find their person and having an happy ending. Often, alot of quotes from thoses books just hit me right in the guts and makes me go «!!! yes, I do need to remember this one.»
The never-ending pandemic makes things all even more harder, combined with people mostly only wanting to have some sex and that’s it, not actually comitting in any way. I keep trying to keep my hopes up, having faith in life – knowing that it’ll throw someone on my way at the right moment. I’m just getting impatient..
Although my parents are still together, as a grown up I do see that it’s a much harder thing to keep. Love is a choice more than it is a feeling, you gotta choose to continue no matter how stubborn and a pain the other person actually is.. While I do think I do have it in me to give that, I do also see how broken I actually am- this part of me thinking that “why would I be picked?” I don’t think I have anything all that special.
So reading the pretty romance books with other MCs that are as broken as me in a way finding theirs make me feel all bubbly inside; feeling the love I so desperately need in a way 🥰 Wishing it’d be my turn sooner than later, and hopefully I can identify something as healthy this time *aherm*. They make me happy.

Do you have a need for romance too?
Do you have any to recommand me? xx
I do love reading romance too even if this last year I veered toward sweet romance rather than the spicy one! And you are right staying together is hard work.
Meanwhile I did the opposite! Ahaha 😅 discovered the spiry romance, though it was good, the sweet ones remains my favorite 💕
Aw, it’s always a lovely feeling when you can really engage with the story in that way. I’m sure you’ll find your perfect person soon! x
Thank you ❤️
I don’t read much romance, but every time I do I really enjoy it, so I feel like it’s a genre I need to explore more. I might start by checking out some of your recommendations!
And I’m sure your perfect person is out there somewhere! I honestly didn’t think there would be anyone out there for me, because I was so ridiculously shy that I could barely talk to anyone, so I thought why would anyone like me? But I ended up meeting someone who is just as shy as me.
I firmly believe there’s someone for everyone, it’s just a case of when they’re going to be thrown into your path!
Ohh yess, you should 🥰
Aww thank you! I just found my own star crossed that everything just decide not to work out when we suppose to meet 🙃 ahah-
