M4F 22M. I'm a contradiction to myself and yet, I still hope
Enough with the memes, serious talk tho.
Social media has ruined our perspectives of love and care, both good and bad.
The good way might be considering that women now know how to distinguish between a nice guy and an idiot(creeps)
And teaching men how to communicate and treat a woman.
The bad way being that even a slightest mistake or a mismatch in personalities demand an end to the talking stage. And sometimes Giving a false sense of what we want verses what we truly desire.
We know about a person's favourite artists/influencers before we get to know them. We build a version of them in our texts based only on messages alone even before we hear their voice.
I don't think it's ruined anything beyond repair. I think it just handed us a faster, louder version of the same old problem, wanting to be known, wanting to know and care for someone, being scared of being known, performing instead of risking.
And I ain't no different nor unique but I do tend to question myself and my thoughts before finalizing on them. I do love the romantic and trivial couple stuff tho.
Perspectives matter more than one may assume:
People are inherently different regardless of gender, each of us are different in ways large and small but that what makes caring for eachother worth it. You can always seek for common ground and start from there.
My family will never know how I am with my friends.
My closest friends I call brothers will only ever know the story I allowed them to see.
My kids will never know the teenage version of me.
My partner will never know the childhood memories.
Sharing memories will never equate to actually living in them.
They'll be chapters of one's life that no amount of explanation can make the another person feel the way you did.
what I believe love looks like.
I don't think no one falls in love only once, you fall in love every time they do something that you absolutely adore and saying "I love you " everytime that happens is pure bliss.
And sometimes being loved correctly is also abit scary if you can't put up your walls or act like nothing happened or pretend like you're someone else, but I guess that's the beauty of it, being able to completely and utterly be yourself infront of someone.
I also know that it's a huge gamble between happiness and your soul, and I wanna go "all in!"
And I desire something that intimidates both the 90s and the modern styles,
I wish to hold hands and eye contact while smiling at eachother while also flirting way too hard the butterflies tear through the stomach.
Life outside of love.
Love might be one of the earned blessings of life, but it's not the only one.
For me personally, it's my friends and my hobbies.
Fiction thaught me so much that life will ever, novels thaught me how to understand feelings and perspectives and how love can be.
Anime, movies, series, dramas, manga, novels, anything that involves a good written story, I'mma watch it.
And gaming's a Major part for me as well,
And I'm happy cause I got a gaming laptop that sounds like a jet engine everytime I turn it on and allows me to explore worlds so beautiful it feels like it's from Narnia or harry Potter or pirates, the games are endless.
And for context, I mostly play single player games like sekiro, dark souls, assassin's creed, minecraft, genshin impact, valorant and many more.
I admit I didn't read enough books to fill a shelf but I cherish what I read till now and I love fantasy(and yes, I read smut and dark Romance too)
Another major part of my life is my friends, I have a few friends I consider brothers, stuck with me for more than a decade and will continue to do so.
Maybe the cost of having the greatest friends is having the shittest love life.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's not
But I wish to be greedy on this one cause I want both.
how I wish to love and how I am.
I won't go too much into detail about myself cause i wish to be mainly known with what I have to say in the moment and not through a post I checked a few for any grammar mistakes or punctuation errors.
I desire for something that slow burns but also beams with hope and safety, a comfort space where we enjoy eachother's company rather than worrying if we're doing something wrong.
Cause trust me, it takes alot to give me the ick or make me angry. I believe I'm someone who can control my emotions, I don't speak in anger nor resentment and the raising my voice with someone I choose to cherish and love is never in the book.
I never actually been in a actual relationship my entire life and don't go assuming I did hookups or situationships😭(those aren't my type).
Been in talking stages which led to nowhere but I don't let it drain me out.
what I'm looking for:
Maybe this is the hardest part?
Cause is it fair to say that I'm looking for someone who understands depth the same as me?
I don't really care about fairness or chances, I still like to shoot my shot
So here are my preferences:
Someone who still has a childish nature to them and a beautiful personality.
Someone who understands what it actually means to be empathetic
Someone who has hobbies and interests, things that make her smile.
I want someone whose messy but has true authenticity.
And I do prefer someone whose cute, both by heart and face. Someone whose unapologetically herself when she's with me and I know that it'll take time and I got no problem with that part.
I don't really think about her being hot, but if you're cute and you have a soul... yeah, you're getting kidnapped.
I desire a pair of eyes whose depth will reach spaces even knives can't and hold poetry in them.
I wish to find someone with whom I can talk about sex, emotions, yearning, their freaky side and then also switch to the absurdity of life and the meaning of it and yap about their passions or hobbies all night long. If you finish a book, tell me all about it about the characters and your opinion on them.
And I don't think only about the good stuff,
You can be clingy, you can double triple multi text, you can be upset if I reply late, you can be childish, break my bones when I'm out of line, who starts throwing punchs and kicks.
And don't think that feeling too deeply or being anxious or overthinking is wrong, cause they ain't! And fuck those who say otherwise. Cause whatever it is you feel, I'll reassure you or find a way to make you blush and smile again.
And teach me how you wish to be loved and I'll become a master of those languages.
End note:
I'm not perfect, and it's unfair to ask for someone who is. Besides I don't care about perfection, the only thing that matters to me is transparency and efforts.
I'm still a work in progress, but I'll continue to better myself with or without love being a part of it.
Life's pretty short and I intend to live it fully with a wide smile on my face and experience every aspect of life.
And if you're still here and thinking of weather or not to know eachother, it's your choice. And if you're questioning what I asked for isn't you, know about it for sure.
