Aside from this being stunningly written, I just devoured this on my train ride while intermittently thinking about the r’ships that I willingly let turn me against myself and the yearning I have to one day never have to do that again. Which, no matter how “right” the person feels with you, you’ll always have to navigate the confinements of. That question of “AM I ENOUGH?” plaguing you and you looking for answers in these dynamics when it’s a conversation for yourself. Oof. I appreciate this post.
I've never truly dated anyone and yet I completely relate to the feeling of uncertainty in being, and compromising while others stay steadfast in their identity. This was beautifully written.
This really resonated with me, thank you for sharing! I feel like in my past relationships I definitely molded myself around other people, and lost myself in the process. Since May I've completely taken a break from dating partly for this reason - I want to spend more time with myself, so that when I meet the someone again, it will feel right as I can be more of my own person. Excellent post!
I live for Black sapphic experiences and pieces 🥹 Whether it’s struggle, honeymoon love, or Black lesbians that have grown old together, I’m so grateful to read about the experiences of women who love women. Thank you for heart out pouring in this. I wish you more compassionate revelations about the power of solitude and partnership.
Oh okay so I'm crying now that's cool. Your literary voice is so incredibly captivating, thank you for your vulnerability and I couldn't relate more to everything that you've said. Regardless of farmers market companionship, homes turned to ash, or carpets torn to shreds; I'm certain you will be pleasantly surprised with what you can build with just your own two hands.

This was a story I didn't want to be over. Love your writing style and related a little too much 🫣

what a hard thing to write about and a hard thing to admit about your love but it's so worth it to work thru ... i assume. still working on it too.
