SO GOOD. I sobbed. I cried. I laughed a little about the whole ass. And goddamit I loved this one.

Is it supposed to be so complicated...? I suppose without such lessons, the reward wouldn’t be nearly as sweet, but as to the reward - how will we know? I sighed, I’m with you in your sorrow - these words read like butter and stung like arrows. Thank you, so much.

Going through some heartache myself right now and this resonated. ❤️

I just recently also had something end that didn't "work out", even though it probably wasn't the right thing. I really appreciate your honest words and vulnerability in the process of admitting this desire for a certain type of intimacy that we can't give ourselves or will into existence.

Your honesty and vulnerability in sharing your experiences in love/dating is always soooo refreshing <3 Your story is one I feel like myself and all of my friends have gone through time and time again. Even if we are okay with and/or want a casual, no commitment situation, we still want passion, romance, and presence in our intimate experiences. It's kind of amazing (and sad?) that people such have black and white thinking when it comes to intimacy—the fear of giving too much (too much what? romance, passion, etc? for fear it will make the other person 'fall' for them?) Often it feels like men (and maybe women do this too? idk) are so afraid of losing their independence while operating on assumptions (that no one ever shared or confirmed btw) they act from a place of scarcity and imo that makes the entire experience soooo not hot

This is perfect. You’re a gem. I hope you feel replenished and cared for so you can keep going. Thank you for being brave/true enough to share- the sharing is such a tender way to rend the messiness and worry into a little gathering of hearts who’ve crossed/are crossing similar fields. I hope love continues to find you 💘
