As much as I’m “okay” here by the fire alone, I hate being here by myself. I want a partner. I want to love someone. I want to take care of them, and I want them to take care of me. Is that so terrible? Everyone says you have to stop trying to fall in love for it to happen. It’ll happen when you least expect it. Why can’t I expect it? Why am I not allowed to want to fall in love, for it to happen for me?
