I want someone who will laugh with me over something as silly as powdered sugar. I want decades from now to still feel like the beginning, you know? I want to be seventy years old and still giggling over stupid little things 💕

My cousin told me I need to "live a little" before I "settle down" (her words, not mine), but what if I don't want to live a little? What if I want to live A LOT, but with one person, building something real instead of collecting experiences with people who won't remember my name in five years? She made it sound like wanting commitment means missing out, but to me, missing out is never finding that powdered sugar moment 🥐

Maybe I'm romanticizing things. Maybe real life isn't like that. But shouldn't we at least try to create the life we dream about instead of just accepting whatever comes along?
