#Friendzoned (Joe x Sara Fanart + rant)

Fanart of joe and sara! I loved their friendship in YTTD! I'm so sad about Joe's fate in though...In another life, I hope Sara gets her chance to confess her feelings. Especially since in the special minisode, it was revealed that she had a thing for him. It was funny, cause even before it became cannon that Sara had one-sided feelings for Joe, I called it out. I always got the vibe that she liked Joe more than he liked her. Is it just me??? 😵

Sighs... relationships are complicated.

Speaking of relationships, I found this very insightful video about the problem with dating culture these days. You're probably wondering what this has to do with Joe and Sara, so I'll just let these comments on the video speak for itself:

My take?! People overcomplicate it... It surprises me how some people make it their whole life mission to find a partner... when I believe the right person will just come to you if you're just enjoying your hobbies and doing your own thing. And not worrying about it??? But this is coming from someone who doesn't go searching because I come from a broken family. My dad was abusive to my mom, so I'm cautious about who I let into my life.

It's you, or nobody at all.

Literally 😂😂😝😝

Either I really like the person after I do my diligent research to make sure that they are a standup person.... or I'm not going to bother being friends with you in the first place. Look, If I'm at the point of spamming the dms, you've already passed in the sense that I've let you into my life. I take my connections, friendships very seriously! 😂😈I know I daydream a lot, and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable, (i wear my heart on my sleave~!) but I'm turning 25 years old and know the REALITY. Emotions are good, idealism is good, and I'm a caring to a fault, but there has to be logic. Reality is, relationships are hard work. There are also the issues of one-sided feelings, (like joe and sara). So what happens then? Is the friendship ultimately gone and ruined? All that time spent for nothing? So what was the point?😣

I think despite that... that's the risk, right? Developing a friendship, allows both sides to build a foundation. Any foundation. If it becomes something more, healthy communication will just naturally happen, and it will go from there. It sounds simple, but I guess that also depends how mature both parties are in taking about their feelings in an honest way (Whether they feel the same or not). And I think that's where it goes wrong most of the time. Because those are hard conversations to have without someone getting hurt or taking it personally.

They say the brain doesn't fully mature until your 25... so maybe I'm being way too intuitive behind the psychology of this. Yet If I introspect this concept to my life, I'm not afraid to have tough conversations now if I'm ever in a situation like that. I may be a shy/quiet, etc, but I will communicate and tell you how it is in long ass paragraphs in text. 😝😝And even if it's hard for me taking verbally, I'll still do it if I have to. Even though I suck at getting my point across and I make no sense cause I'm socially awkward and giggling too way much. I'm the type to try!

But if it was me back when I was in early 20s, I wouldn't be able to. 🙁

So in conclusion? I think those screenshots of the comments in the video speak true. I wouldn't underestimate the power of friendship. With friendships, it's okay to take things slow and don't worry about any level of commitment. Besides, people are in different stages in life. What I'm trying to say is-- overtime, that strong connection is being formed inherently. It's cooking! And if the future, it becomes something more, and both parties feel the same way about each other, why not?! 😉
