Retired from sad
New career in romance
Fr tho idk. Been bitchless for like 5 years atp because I value my peace like that. Didn’t miss romance too much.
I feel like posting here has historically been back luck but man whatever this is less about romance itself and more about the revelation that I just kinda. Historically have dated all the wrong people and I carried the shame and the scars they left not knowing that. There is a way to do it that doesn’t hurt me.
For the first time ever I’m looking forward to the future of this thing and the prospect of a relationship doesn’t fill me with existential dread. For the first time ever this is a good thing that’s happening and not just. A result of a bad decision.
And it’s making me realize I am not flawed and all the shame and guilt I take with me everywhere is not mine. When I put all of my previous relationships under a microscope I always felt like they were horrible because I am horrible and this is just not true.
I am just as capable of doing shitty things as anyone else but in a bad situation what else are you supposed to do. I was just trying not to drown.
I have a capacity to love. I just let people take advantage of that.
Idek if that makes sense I’m writing this mostly for future me
