I've been wandering around at night lately, filled with love and freedom. I think it just recently struck me. Hard. That I am a single woman.
In my head, every conversation, every crush, every interaction with a potential love interest had to be viewed through the lens of "Will this relationship last FOREVER." Because we are sold on this idea that all relationships need to last forever to be healthy. I think I'm beginning to understand that this is totally not true and is, in fact, counter-productive...and possibly oppressive, not to mention an impossible ideal to achieve...and, actually, not my ideal at all.
Then there is this idea that all relationships need to fit into neat little well-defined boxes. I am having the best time with smashing those boxes lately.
Isn't that funny? It's because of my freedom from love that I can feel so free to Love.
