Standing

I realized today that I don't fall in love anymore. Oh, I fall into like and maybe even lust, but love, no. Not that I'm cynical, or at least that's not the reason because I do know love exists. I know many people have it. And I love many people who love me. However, I don't fall in love anymore. No one new, I guess. Which is sad. Maybe.

Maybe it's age. Maybe I grew out of that. Not even sure I want it. Love always brings complications, and my life is complicated enough as it is. So I can't say I'm looking for it or are even open to it.

Isn't that odd? Well, maybe not. There's a certain comfort in being beyond new love. While it does mean your world will become smaller, it certainly is safer.

I wish I had more regret about this, but I don't. Life is as it is. I hope I wouldn't be resistant to a new love, but I'm not sure I'd be welcoming. I'm standing here in my life, trying to make my world through the world one day at a time, step by step. If a new love wanted to join me in that, well, that would be just fine.
