The best place to start is imagine. I mean genuinely imagine you will never marry or be partnered with a man. What will make your life of value? How will you find joy? Who are you without the pursuit of romantic love from men? Start from there. https://twitter.com/__sammich__/status/1387642965615693825
In the beginning, it made me unhappy. I felt sad. As a sentimental romantic person, it broke my heart. But getting past that, I started taking all that romance & love. Sharing it with my friends. We celebrate friendship anniversaries. We go one dates. We buy flowers. It’s sweet.
I realized I could still fall in love. It might sound cheesy. But I fell in love with my teaching. I fell in love with CrossFit. I regularly fall in love with my friends. I am working on falling in love with myself. And I realized I can date now without needing more from men
And because I don’t need more from them anymore, I don’t settle for less anymore. (Plus with ADHD meds & therapy, a lot of past fixations on certain men I had, fell away. So if I was focused on you, it was my untreated learning disability not real 😂😅) now I’m happy :)
As heterosexual women, you are going to have to understand. Unless men are doing the work for themselves. To remove patriarchy from their ideologies. At best, they are a waste of time, at worst. They are a danger. Fall in love with your own life.
