I feel like my romantic hope is an hourglass that is quickly running out.

Start finding ways to have a fulfilling life without someone else- it’s hard to find someone when you fire them as your sole reason for happiness. I dated my high school sweet heart for six years, then after we broke up I met my literal soul mate when I was 23 and he 29. Two years later, I never knew happiness like this existed. I think it happened because we both reached a point where we realized we are our own happiness. Individually we both had found a place of self love and acceptance, then we fell into each other’s laps. We tell each other shit like “I didn’t realize anything was missing from my life because it wasn’t. But now that you’re here I don’t now how I didn’t notice the void before”

Don’t give up. But also don’t feel like it’s all there is in life.
