>>48086831I actually understand exactly what Lui's aiming at here.
Been in a long-ish relationship thrice. In a way it's very enjoyable, but also very tiring. You lose a certain amount of privacy and are somehow constantly under scrutiny, You don't get a "time off". It's an investment in time and emotional energy, and if it goes bad, you have to start all over again from the beginning.
I have a lot of good friends, awesome family members, and don't feel lonely or unfullfilled. But I'm also getting old (very close to, say, Botan's age) and there simply isn't that much time to build up the romance of your life remaining. I simply don't see it happening anymore. I'm honestly quite happy. But sometimes it feels as if something is missing.
That description of hers is astute. Can't be the only one here feeling this way based on how often that image is reposted.
