What if you never find the love you've always wanted?
It's a fear many people carry, especially when they've spent years dating, watching other people find relationships, and wondering when it will finally be their turn.
But how do you make peace with the possibility that something you want so deeply might never happen, without giving up hope of finding it?
In this episode, we respond to a listener who, at 51, is confronting that very question. We talk about the danger of measuring your life against someone else's, how focusing on the worst-case scenario can rob you of the possibilities still ahead, and why there's more than one way to experience a deeply loving and meaningful life.
We also explore how our expectations of what love should look like can sometimes prevent us from recognizing the connections right in front of us.
Because you may not be able to guarantee the love story you've imagined. But that doesn't mean you can't have an extraordinary life, or that your best chapters aren't still ahead of you.
