I'm 26, never had a relationship, never had a moment that I could carry in my heart, and when I see people around me in relationships, it makes me depressed. Don't get me wrong, I am ever happy for the couple, but when I think about myself, that's when depression kicks in.
I think, wow they look beautiful together, they're really happy, how happy would it feel? I haven't the slightest idea.
And where I come from, arranged marriage is very common, India. And I'm the product of an arranged marriage and I happen to understand and value the meaning of relationship because I've seen enough marriages of my uncles and brothers and even my parents to know that love is more than what they have. I could only feel sorry for them who have married into for the sake of marriage and not love. Yes people do say love happens even after marriage- but I strongly believe that that statement is only valid if you get married when you are young- in your 23 or 24, early 20s. And that love that happens after marriage changes who you are.
For now my goals are clear, I've to take care of my parents, and about love, I don't know. I will love the spring and the winter, I will love the rain, I will love a good music that changes you from within. Most of all I will love seeing people holding hands, falling in love and having a great life even though I seem to have exhausted my years without a special someone.

Read if you're having a bad day
I know that many people are here because they're depressed or suicidal. I want to give you some advice that I think will make your day better: Order Greek food...
I hope you do find this love that you are yearning for. A sense of belonging is so important. And someone to have and to hold. To talk to during late nights. It is something so pure and special.
ReplyIf you want love, get active! Join a club for instance, it's a good opportunity to meet people. Don't wait until love happens to you, cause then it might never come. And don't worry about your age, with 26 you are almost still a baby ;-)
good luck!
ReplyI tried you know, I really tried, I'm extremely shy and I tried with all I can, I only faced rejection. It maybe because of the way I look, or maybe because the other person just doesn't feel anything for me, when I genuinely did.
I liked a girl in college but then it didn't work out because she wanted to be with someone else - I think that's the last time I cried consoling myself.
Then I met another girl who showed so much interest in me. She would hold my hands sometimes, and that's the only sweet thing I remember now. When I told her how I felt she stopped talking to me, ghosted me, it was awful. After 2 years I texted her saying thanks for being a friend, and she said okay, that's it. I didn't ask anything else.
Finally another girl who was my friend, my really good friend. We did like eachother and it took us time to realise that. It went till marriage. And one day she told me she doesn't want to because she doesn't feel anything at the moment for me.
I'm a bit broken right now, just carrying on and working and take care of my parents. I don't have the emotional capacity to love again, but God I wish I had someone.
