Sometimes
I see all the posts for people in love
And it isn’t like there is anything bad or wrong about them….
But I notice how they’re all filled with sentences talking about that person (generally singular) being your everything and vise versa.
Super sweet stuff, it just makes me feel…. wrong
And I can’t be the only one
Because that’s not what I want from my love. That isn’t what I want for my life.
I want to see being complete individuals together romanticized.
I want to see “MOOD” posts about how wonderful it is to feel free and unafraid of dissolving into someone else’s life while in a relationship.
I want “being able to go entire days without talking and still be reassured of their love and interest” to be a couples goal.
And I want to see couples supporting each other, even if it means they sometimes have to be long-distance for each to meet their own goals or share more of the other person/people or be a little out of the loop at times. The evolution of a relationship can be so beautiful, even or especially if it does not follow the beaten path.
I want to stop romanticizing possession, foremost.
See, there is nothing wrong with wanting one person to be a focal point in your life for the rest of your life, as long as it’s done in a healthy way (which should be a rule for everything else in life too).
I just think we should be encouraging people with vastly different romantic mindsets to come out of the woodwork as well!
People who romanticize their careers over romantic love for a person…
Or who want several casual people in their romantic lives…
Or whose stomachs churn when they think of ever having someone consider them “theirs”…
….should be just as valid participating in feeling gooey romantic and happy disgusting about their choices to have different life goals! And if anyone thinks they’re the only one feeling this way, you have all my consent to message me! I’m willing to bet our community is bigger than we think.
Okay, now I’m done bellowing from the peanut gallery!
Happy scrolling 🌹🐝
