I am reminded of this reality from a YouTube video I just watched, more on the female side of things. She wanted to meet up with someone (a dude), but ended up just getting ignored over time. I feel like the people I like will do this to me, even if as time passed, they are alone or even just I want to be with the people I want. And that's why life is hard. I dare not try my luck anytime soon despite having done so in the past.
Some things are just not meant to be.
