It is very strange to realize I spent two years chasing one person

Oh, hey.
Well a little over two years. With Valentine's coming up I sat back tonight and had a few bevs with friends and I realized a few things.

One, as odd and rare as it is, in my entire life I've only chased after on girl. The story behind how I even started talking to her, or even originally had an interest for my gf is funny as fuck on its own, but it's just strange to me to have never strayed from a single goal. Usually when things are taking a little long you move on to the next one or just seem to sort of give up because it's not worth your time or resources. But to stick to it until it pulls off is kinda hard to do nowadays.

We live in the day and age of just hookups, no relationships, just hookups. As much as I disagree with living that kinda life it's just how things are now.

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, have you ever met or even seen someone that you said "that's who I'm going to get" and actually went through the long process of getting the person, and not once going on a tangent with someone else. Full commitment to one person, rather, full commitment to the chase. And how long did it take?

I neither fear, nor despise.
If after a while nothing really happens or things go bad I tend to just move on. Otherwise I'm basically wasting my time chasing someone I know doesn't want to be with me.

Please stop making me aware that I've never met a person who's remotely even loved me.

Nevermind the hallmark take over of Valentines. It's the worst because it's a time for couples.

No BC, I have not once ever met or seen a person who I said I was going to get. Nor have I ever committed because naturally I had nobody to commit to. How long did it take?

23 years and counting.

I didn't intend to remind you of anything negative...or anyone for that matter.

Yeah, I get ya. It's all good. If it wasn't you it probably would have been somebody else. Hard to have any festivities without somebody on here talking about it. Look on the bright side.

At least you ain't me and hopefully you've got somebody to enjoy Valentine's with.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I've had that feeling once of "I will". Met in August, dated in March, broke up by July 2 years ago.

The last part kinda sucked, but it was a good feeling that it actually happened at all, rather than seeing what came my way and then doing very lottle about it.
