Myles I agree 100% with Cruzzie when she said, “And just because you haven’t connected with someone on a deep enough level to feel comfortable establishing a romantic relationship doesn’t mean you won’t, it just means it hasn’t happened yet.” You are 17 my friend and there is much ahead of you in terms of finding that romantic relationship. There is no hurry. Relationships come and go and between each relationship is a HUGE opportunity to learn. Because you said, “’I’m now a better person,” this is a gift you have in recognizing that, and that will enable you to continue to grow, learn how to be better as you do grow and experience relationships. With regards to “people often joke about “dying alone”, that comment ignores a much healthier, happier option-living. I believe it is healthier to think about how you want to live your life, be the better person that you continue to strive for, than to preoccupy your thoughts on “dying alone.” But again, please think about what Cruzzie said, “And just because you haven’t connected with someone on a deep enough level to feel comfortable establishing a romantic relationship doesn’t mean you won’t, it just means it hasn’t happened yet.” I truly believe that those words are a very solid rock to stand on.
