I worry about some of you. Youβre too loud about what you are. Reblogging my posts with tags like someone please do this to me already. Youβre putting out an open call and you have no idea whoβs applying.
Stop that. I mean it. You deserve someone who earns it. Someone patient enough to pay attention, smart enough to figure out what you actually need underneath what you say you want, and dedicated enough to find the whole process fascinating rather than tedious. You deserve someone who reads everything you post and connects things you said three months apart and understands you well enough that when he finally reaches out it feels less like a stranger introducing himself and more like someone you already know stepping out from behind the curtain.
I want that for you. So raise the bar. Demand that level of effort. Filter out every lazy, careless, impatient man who wants submission handed to him on a plate. Theyβre not worth your time. Send them away. All of them.
Until I have you all to myself.
