In my adult years, I lived with a man more than I did alone. But the peace and beauty in simplicity I found after living on my own for a couple of years (and not letting males even get close to entering my space) is next level.
My mornings are lovely: silent, clean, with ambient sounds of my choosing, an incense burning and filling the room with beautiful energy. I drink my morning drink slowly, then nourish my body with food of my choosing.
No male interrupts my rituals and my preciously built environment. No one walks around making noise. No one tells me “that stinks,” “what’s with those sounds”, “what's for breakfast”. I don't need to perform femininity or worry about how I look, I can just be in the moment.
Same with my evenings, my weekends, my life in general. 🫶🏻 It's so worth it.
What you think you will get out of a relationship with a man is what you already have within yourself.
