wow. i loved this. i've never heard someone talk about this that feels the same way i do - that time with myself is so precious that i don't want to give that up for some boy (or girl) that doesn't bring me as much joy as i do myself. i enjoy my alone time so damn much, that my time spent with you has got to be really damn good in order for me to disrupt my peace and allow in all the stress and complications of a relationship. i just turned 29 and am going back and forth between do i lower my standards and settle in order to start a family, do i resolve to be alone unless someone shows up by chance but potentially sacrifice my ability to have children with them if i find them too late for my biological clock, or do i keep dating and pursuing new connections with the hope and belief that there is someone out there that meets my high standards?
regardless - i hadn't considered having a date with myself for valentine's day. i might set up something romantic for me now🥰
Blayke, thank you so much for this thoughtful reflection. All of this is sooooo valid and has definitely crossed my mind as well. The Mother Code which is coming out later this year helped to ease a lot of my worry and doubt about what I should do now to keep in mind the vision of the future I have for myself. It takes courage to do your own thing and to TRUST that things will work out exactly as they should, even if it looks different than what others are doing or what you once thought you should do. Let me know what you end up doing! xoxo https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738465/the-mother-code-by-ruthie-ackerman/
