Dear Shirley:

I most like your sentence: ” i have simply begun working on dropping the expectations of the world.”

Yes, you don’t have to be the Most in anything, like you wrote. Just be free to be you, like when you run.

You are interested in spiritual love and not physical love, you wrote, and I understand it to be like this: if you had physical love, you would get too attached, too anxious about being criticized and rejected, and maybe you will criticize yourself severely if you were involved in physical love. This is understandable to me, because the first people you loved intensely are your parents and they criticized you. That hurt and you don’t want that hurt again.

Maybe sometime in the future you will be able to be involved in physical love, maybe. No reason to rush it, none whatsoever. And let it always be your choice, your way, your journey in life.
