Will I Ever Meet My Person? (You Might Be Closer Than You Think)
Make There’s a quiet ache that settles in late at night — somewhere between scrolling Instagram engagement announcements and ghosting texts you never asked for in the first place. And the question starts to rise again:
Will I ever meet my person?
It’s not just about wanting a relationship. It’s about wanting that connection. The one where you feel seen without performing. The one that feels steady instead of sparking anxiety. The one where you don’t have to shrink, chase, over-explain, or wonder what went wrong after three great dates and a sudden silence.
If you’ve been navigating dating post-pandemic, in a sea of apps, situationships, and “emotionally available” people who absolutely are not — you’re not alone. It’s exhausting. It’s vulnerable. And it’s easy to start wondering if real, mutual, grounded love is still even out there.
Let’s be honest: most advice out there either tells you to manifest harder or settle faster. Neither of those options are helpful when you’re out here doing the actual work — the healing, the reflection, the slow, quiet shift toward deeper self-trust.
So, if you’re burnt out… if you’re asking, When will I meet the one? — this is for you.
Here’s the truth no one really tells you:
Sometimes growth doesn’t look glamorous.
Sometimes it looks like deleting their number and crying in the bathtub.
Sometimes it’s saying no and sitting in the discomfort.
Sometimes it’s choosing solitude over half-connection.
But all of that? That is the work. That is the clearing-out that makes space for something real.
And here’s what might surprise you: You might already be closer to love than you think.
Here are some not-so-obvious signs you're getting closer to meeting your person, even if it doesn’t feel like it:
Here are some not-so-obvious signs you're getting closer to meeting your person…
Even if it doesn’t feel like it:
You’re bored by the chaos that used to keep you hooked. Drama used to feel like connection. Now it just feels exhausting.
You feel calm when you’re alone. Not anxious. Not desperate. Just… okay.
You stop forcing connections that don’t feel right. Even if they check the boxes. Even if your friends think he’s “a catch.”
You’re drawn to consistency, not chemistry that makes you dizzy. Safety starts to feel sexy.
You’re raising your standards — and not apologizing for them. No more explaining why breadcrumbing and emotional unavailability aren’t cute.
You finally trust your intuition over your anxiety. You know the difference now. And you’re listening.
This is what it looks like when you start choosing yourself. And when you do that? The love you're looking for gets a whole lot closer.
So if you’re tired , like soul-deep, “I cannot sit through another date with a man who says he’s self-aware and then trauma dumps over tacos” tired, I see you. If you're about to delete the apps and just raise goats in the mountains? I get it.
But please, hear this:
The love you want isn't impossible. It's just waiting for you to stop tolerating what's not it.
So let this be the season you get clear. Get grounded. Get in alignment with the love you deserve.
You're not behind. You're not too much. You're not too late. You're becoming someone who can hold the kind of love you’ve always wanted.
And that? That matters more than any algorithm ever will.
