I miss going out to dates. I miss staying up late at night just watching my favorite band or late night coffee with friends.

@validatemyfeelings may I ask, why aren't you able to do any of those things now?

Yes I too miss all this, and it often feels like growing up is the fault! But we can go on solo dates, watch late night movies on weekends, we can do it guys!!

Me to except I am a guy. I totally understand how you feel. You feel like you are watching other people get married, have kids, and reach milestones and all you want is to feel validated or loved. The struggle is real.

Life can throw curveballs, and we all have our share of ups and downs. It's like writing a book, each chapter has its own story and challenges.
But remember, your story is still being written, and there are many more adventures and special moments awaiting you in the future. As you navigate through the complexities of life, one page at a time.

Here are a few things you can do to feel special:

Take care of yourself. 
Do something you're good at. 
Spend time with people who love you. 
Set goals for yourself and achieve them. 
Help others. 

Remember, you are special. You deserve to feel happy and loved.
