There's Peace in Acceptance.
My end-of-year reflection on how I view love and relationships
It's the end of 2023, and whatever remnant of fairy tale love is not in my imagination now. This isn't a doom and gloom message from a place of heartbreak and disappointment. It's an honest and evolved look at how I view relationships.
Of course, my personal experience has affected my perspective, but my goal in writing is to find a balance between realism and idealism. I still love and want to be with women. I have women friends that I have a high level of reverence for them as friends. I value them.
I can't explain it. I am still physically attracted to the one that births life, which is a woman. Still, there is something deeper without plunging into society's Rom-Com abyss of delusion and illusion. I've accepted things about myself and women that have brought me into this logical space of enlightenment.
I don't think about romantic relationships like I used to. None of I'm single; love yourself cliches, either. We have enough of them, don't we? I have enough wisdom and logic to know some things, though. I know that most people are fickle AF.
There's peace in acceptance. Keep an eye out for the ones who finish what they start, commit, and see projects through consistently. Not necessarily…
