I Am a Hopeless Romantic

I realised that I was a hopeless romantic since I was in middle school. Even as a young adult I am a hardcore hopeless romantic. My friends tease me about it but I don't mind. Almost every day I wish to be in a healthy and strong relationship but I currently more focused on myself, to grow as an individual and get my life where I want it to be. I struggle with myself from time to time because I love my independence and yet I want a relationship. I will continue to live my life and work on myself as I know someone great will enter my life.
