The longer I live without a family or partner, the more I like it.

Sure I still get sad and lonely, and maybe it’s sad to need to accept that no one wants us. But it feels better in the waking hours these days because the more experience I have in contrary of love/family dynamics, the more experienced I am without. And the better I feel on my own. I’m open to deeper love, but I cannot put my hope into something that has left me broken over and over again.
