Coding My Feelings Away

I'm a software engineer in my mid-twenties and I've been single for what feels like forever. Most days, work keeps me busy enough that it's okay, but tonight, sitting alone at my desk after everyone else has left, all the loneliness hits hard. It doesn't help that there's this one app I'm working on, a dating app, and every feature we add is just another reminder of how far away I am from actually using such a thing myself. The other night, I had this dream where coding was my escape and my comfort, but even in dreams, it feels like something's missing. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever really find what I'm looking for or if I'll just keep building apps and dreaming of connections that never come.
