How many misses are going to block you in the next link?

Whatever. You'll live.
It seems like that mindset pays off. At the very least, you stop questioning your own sanity every time things fall apart, or obsessing over all those "what if" scenarios.

I’ve come to believe the healthiest approach is to accept that there is no such thing as justice or blame in relationships. It all just boils down to a matter of compatibility—or the lack thereof—at any given moment.

Just to be clear, this is purely theoretical.
It’s a relief to see how much ground I've actually covered during this internship. 😁

And that's just a glimpse of what fate has in store for us.
The truth, though nobody's exactly lining up to hear it. 😁

Just to be clear, I'm strictly theorizing here.
If only I had actually managed to get that far in real life. 😁

Mark Hughes36 said:In my view, it's pure ego: "How is it possible that someone I love this much doesn't see me as worthy of their devotion?"

🤣🤣🤣 Man, oh man... 🙂

Well, at least you've confirmed—or rather, you have—that I'm not being selfish, 😁 which is something some people seem to take personally.
But we always end up circling back to the first point: why is it always 🤣 😬

Anyway, I have to run... I've started philosophizing again, and that never ends well. 😳
You guys figure out a meaningful answer.

We are all sitting here attempting to be rational, dissecting everything because it’s impossible to grasp how such a vital aspect of life can remain entirely outside our control—especially when one feels they've earned happiness in that department. The universe isn't inherently fair. I will reiterate my previous point: luck plays a role. There is endless evidence that misfortune strikes even the most unlikely people. In fact, I was quite pleased today after reading a story on Reddit about a woman who finally found "The One" and is truly happy after years of searching. 🙂

luck rarely strikes the miserable
you know why
it's their attitude🤷

Walter Peterson said:I can certainly agree with that, though I suspect it only holds true when we’re dealing with people who actually fit our own mold. Some individuals are simply fundamentally incompatible with us—personality-wise, there’s just no way to make it work, regardless of the circumstances.

copperfox22 said:cosmictinker21, I think you completely missed the mark on this one... what's the term again? 🙂soccer

Jeremy Torres5 said:Man, cosmictinker21 is playing in a different league entirely
She clearly doesn't grasp how the NFL rules work 😂 😂 😂
But it’s honestly fascinating how she hits the exact same sour note in every single PDF she posts
Someone really got under her skin 🤣
cosmictinker21, we love you... 😍

cosmictinker21 said:haha, look, if the question is whether I’m going to get blocked in the next thread, I was just answering the question. No, they aren't blocking me, and I have my reasons for thinking they won't. Besides, I'm not even remotely annoyed... well, maybe a little bit when it comes to sweet romance and stuff like that... 😍😍😍😉

Jeremy Torres5 said:🙂
I'd give anything to see her happen by tomorrow... 😁

ruggedhound26 said:Eye for an eye.
I’ve always found that being cooperative pays off more than anything else in the long run.

Exactly like this. 😁

If I may offer a defense: being naive is simply what happens when one possesses a shred of sincerity. 😁
