I’m slowly coming to the conclusion that I *do* want a relationship. After a string of partners who I let treat me incredibly poorly (and a bunch of therapy), it took some time to figure out what I want. Opening up my heart and allowing myself to be vulnerable again is part of the journey. It’s fucking scary, and I’m still not 100% convinced I’m ready. So this photo feels a little scary too, like I’m visibly opening up and not just quietly attempting. This is not an invitation, by the way. I will not be looking for dates through this platform, I just wanted to share a part of my journey with you.
