In my opinion the biggest challenge isn’t even about not having companionship. It’s about other people assuming something is wrong with you because you’re single. It’s people trying to force timelines on to you. It’s also people assuming nobody can ever be single out of choice.
When my daughter was 18 months old, she figured out how to get out of her crib. Everytime we put her in it, she found her way out. She'll turn up at our room grinning with pride because she "escaped". It was frustrating but we got used to it. Everything was okay until one day...
idk who needs to hear this but please believe me when i say people that love you, care about how they make you feel. they care if their actions are making you feel crazy, insecure or sad, they care if what they're doing is causing you pain. when they love you, they care.
