Most of us are hung up on someone we never dated.
Most of us are healing from a relationship that never happened.
Most of us are mourning a person who never belonged to us in the first place.

We have not been in a committed relationship in months, maybe years, maybeever.
But it has not been all that long since our last heartbreak.
We are searching for closure, looking for answers.
We have stopped entering serious relationships but we have not stopped getting our hearts broken.
The logic behind modern dating does not make any sense.
We are a generation of skeptics who are terrified of getting cheated on, led on, or abandoned.
Our biggest fear is allowing someone to get close to us and having them hurt us in the end.
We are getting all of the pain of a relationship without any of the benefits.
From slow dancing at weddings.
From baking cupcakes together in the kitchen.
From cuddling against chests and smooching foreheads and hugging from behind.
We are screwing ourselves over.
We are missing out on something spectacular.
We wonder whether they are worth the effort.
We tell ourselves we are better off without their drama.
We dont commit anymore but that has not stopped us from getting our hearts broken.
Most of us are hung up on someone we never dated.
Most of us are healing from a relationship that never happened.
Most of us are mourning a person who never belonged to us in the first place.
We need to stop running away from our feelings.
We need to stop distancing ourselves as soon as a relationship starts to become serious.
We are not protecting ourselves by staying single.
We are going to get our hearts shattered either way.
