Dearest A. Prashanth,

When I saw your post, I smiled…which is probably not the reaction you were looking for when you wrote it. I didn’t smile due to your difficulties but to our similarities and how our views differ. I am 29, single, never been with anyone really,  and I believe in the hope of finding love. Yes it’s extremely hard, yes I want to give up and yes I wonder where the heck I’m going. But my outlook isn’t in comparing my life to others, trust me you have to STOP doing that. Don’t look back and say what you should have done. I didn’t party in my youth, nor did drugs or drinking. I sat at a bar the other night watching people smoking weed and drinking and thought “Wow…thank God I didn’t do that…I missed nothing” haha. I thought I had found someone to settle with in my earlier twenties but I was unhappy. I’ve had a handful painful “relationships” and realize that the right guy just isn’t here yet but he will be. I’m happy I’m so different. Look I know it’s hard. I know it’s a struggle, just know that you’re not alone and that there are good people left in the world. Let me know if you need any more guidance. 🙂
