I want so desperately to live on the same safe roof as you. To begin each day with different routines. To eat breakfast together and sleep beside each other each night.

I dream of a future where we build a house together — a safe and tranquil home.

As I scroll through my For You page, I notice a recurring pattern of longing for someone so desperately but not attaining it. A thirst for yearning—yearning for a future that once was so bright and clear.

This trend on TikTok deeply captures the bittersweet pain of lost and unfulfilled dreams. Many people share their conversations about planning their futures together and dreaming of being with each other every day. However, this often leads to a heartbreaking breakup that shatters their plans.

I prayed so earnestly that our plans for a better home wouldn’t fade away into thin air.

I hope that, regardless of what happens, we remain together. As we grow into different versions of ourselves, we can still come home knowing our plans for a better future together are slowly developing.

I want to share a life with you. Together, let’s build an apartment we can safely call home.
