Opening to the Infinite Possibilities of Being Alone
I can have many women friends and not seek "relationships" with any of them.
Love is the core skill and core need we all have. Many of us grew up in homes where love was conditional. If you behave this way I will love you. If you go against my wishes, I will exclude you from my love. This is not how love works. Love is universal energy, either you’re tapped into it and give it freely, or you are lacking in love.

Give me something you're truly joyful about. Let me lean into it with you. Even if I don't get it. Let me watch your glowup when you talk about your "project."
We still have an occasional text, but it's been radio silence. And I am moving along, working to establish a new WE.
Romantic poet me wants to believe in happily ever after, but I'm more skeptical today. How do you feel about dating again?
Don't give up on love. It's out there. Make sure you're putting out a message that's going to attract the right people.
As long as we are getting closer, and we are learning from our relationship mistakes, we can pick ourselves up after a breakup, knowing that we gave 100%. And, more importantly, we are closer and better equipped for the next potential partner that agrees to join us in "the arena."
My partner has to grow beside me in her own fascinating ways. If she's not growing, I'm going to find myself alone on a mountain wondering why you chose to not come with me.
