Staying True to My Faith

As-salamu alaykum, I've been noticing a lot of videos about couples sharing their love stories and posting pictures before and after their nikah. It seems like a trend nowadays. They appear genuinely happy, and it's hard not to feel a little unfair, you know? They're living their happily ever after, even if they didn't start out in a halal way. Meanwhile, I'm over here trying to stay on the right path, avoiding anything haram, even though I really like this guy. It's tough, and sometimes I feel like I'm suffering in silence. I like him, and he likes me, but I know we can't pursue anything outside of marriage. Seeing those videos makes me question my choices, though. I always thought that relationships that aren't halal wouldn't lead to good marriages, but these couples seem to be proving me wrong. Alhamdu lillah, I'm trying to stay strong in my faith and trust that Allah has a plan for me. It's just hard when it feels like everyone around me is happy, and I'm still waiting for my own happiness.
