I told myself I didn't want to get married. I didn't want to have children, love someone unconditionally, or fall in love at all. Aromantic, my friend said, and I was alright with that. I didn't need a family of my own, it was too much responsibility, and I thought I had everything I would ever need by myself and with my friends.
And then I met him.
Like the nature of all online relationships, it wasn't meant to last. We didn't know each other's faces or names, we lived in different countries and timezones, but that didn't stop us from getting along. He'd flirt. I'd flirt back. We'd greet each other and ask after each other's days, calling each other pet names. Honestly, he wasn't the best. He had a lot of controversial opinions, but he never voiced them too much and I never asked. He left the server we met in after an argument where he refused to make the extra effort to prevent triggering a person with DID, saying he shouldn't have to change his ways for someone else, while I took the side of the person with DID and fought for an apology and a change.
Really, he wasn't the best of people. I doubt the relationship we had going would have worked out without some major sacrifice on my part, and it would have fallen apart sooner or later. And still, when I think of him I think of him fondly, and I miss the time we did spend together very dearly. Honestly, love is so silly sometimes.

Romantic love can be silly, but it's so worth it when you find your match.

No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
Why do we have so much faith in love, something we cannot hold, sell or buy, something no scientist anywhere on earth will find in an autopsy next to the last meal we had or alongside the disease that ravaged us.. the love we have for our romance, our mom, brother, sister, child, pet, country, spouse, etc. Why do we have so much faith in love, to the point we're willing to die for it, or for lack of it?
John 4:8
Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
