men: what are you looking for?
me: i’m not looking for anything i’m waiting to be found.
men: but, what qualities does your ideal mate have?
me: show me yours and if it aligns we will both know.
you’re not getting a playbook on how to manipulate me, no sir.
i hope to replicate all of my parents wins and as few of their mistakes as humanly possible when parenting.
that’s not to say i won’t make my own but the goal is not to make any of theirs.
