My brain sometimes confuses the two
So when I find someone who is good to me, which is not often, I automatically start thinking about a possible future with them.
But then I stop and think and I realize I don’t actually want a relationship, I just want to be loved and spoiled without the responsibility.
It’s hard to actually truly be in love with someone. It takes a lot of effort.
But you can’t force it initially just because you think the person will be a good partner.
The beginning of the relationship should happen naturally and then the rest of the time it’s a battle.
