X-1
Hard-to-get is so old-fashioned. Gone are the days of intricate games and elusive pursuits. Today’s dating landscape encourages authenticity and open communication. The concept of playing hard-to-get, once considered a tantalizing challenge, is losing its appeal. In a world where options abound, individuals are embracing a more straightforward and honest approach to connection.
I value the sincerity that arises when intentions are clear and direct. Authenticity, I believe, is the cornerstone of meaningful connections. According to Worldometer, There are over 8 billion people in the world, there’s literally no time to allow 1 human (who makes up 0.0000000125 of the world population) mistake your attention for games.
Love by Proximity
Often, our heart pants out of fear of being lonely, leading us to die down whatever idea we had of a perfect human and opt for the most available person. Rarely, it ends up being beautiful. more often than not, it proves unsustainable. As the fear of loneliness diminishes over time, the longing for a more genuine connection resurfaces. Lately I have been made to understand that fear is not a bad thing, fear is in fact a good thing, it’s a pointer to an incoming danger. It is how we respond to that fear that determines how bad the outcome will be.
The Ultimate Formula
X-1, where 1 represents the person released from the confines of the heart, whom you once loved, and X representing the 8 billion-plus potential humans awaiting your version of true-love. This formula profoundly impacted my perspective on relationship setbacks, prompting a shift in how I approach the aftermath of mistakes. I’ve learned to value the vast array of possibilities rather than dwelling on a single, potentially unfulfilling connection. But, there will come a time when age will catch up with us and life will be more than an equation.
