New Tomorrows

The truth is I regularly feel embarrassed by my own needs, desires and wants in relation to others, whether romantic prospects or even just friends. Society does its best to compound that by constantly signalling this is my fault. Just this morning I was watching a TikTok about how I’m not sending the right signals to attract love into my life because, given how long I’ve been single despite dating, I likely have a nervous system regulation issue. Somewhere along the way single women who are still “trying” to remain open to love got told we aren’t single because we are simply unlucky but because we need to “work” on ourselves. It’s disgusting and makes me furious. Some real cunts are deeply, happily in love! I really think we need to bring back luck into discussions of romantic love." --Shon Faye, where the hell is my (embarrassing) husband?
