Recently I had a vivid, visceral flashback to the kind of exhaustion I experienced on a daily basis during my last two relationships. I remembered how I couldn't provide my partner with what they needed, and vice-versa. And it clicked for me: I need my independence way more than I need a relationship.
Has anyone else ever experienced realizing what u actually need to feel loved and cared for by realizing the people in ur life aren't giving that to u? I've been dealing with that a lot recently and it's so crazy to process in the moment tbh
ask yourself these questions: Why are you unable to live a fulfilling life without a relationship? Do you not have hobbies, friendships, purpose in your life as it is? I say this as someone who's been single for three years: Thank God I don't have to share a bed with someone else, Thank God I can have the weekly alone time I need to recover my sanity, Thank God I don't have to negotiate or justify anything with anyone else.
Everybody meet Tomato! (government name: Chloe) She is a very very shy but sweet little lady who is one year old. I already feel like we're kindred spirits because we both take a while to warm to people. She is currently sitting comfortably with the dust bunnies under my bed.
