Happy birthday, Luce! This is so perfect in every way - and very much explains my life now at 53 🥰 I think I've been in love - even got married once (though I knew it was a bad idea at the time) but honestly, I've spent too much time with the wrong men - was it me or was it them? Who cares! I'm much happier on my own, doing what I want, when I want. I love my friends, my chosen and actual whānau and my life is full. Life is what you make of it - you do you ❤️
I read this at a time when I needed it the most. I've been in love once in my life, and that was 5 years ago (high school love, so I'm not sure if it was love or just hormones). I've been feeling so down lately because I can't seem to fall in love with anyone, and it feels like everyone around me has a partner. I feel like I'll die alone or like I'm missing something in life. But you gave me a new perspective, and I feel better now. Thank you 🫶🫶

This is an excellent counterpoint to the experience of Anna as told in the New York Times podcast 'The Deserter' about who flees Russia with her husband, Ivan, after he deserts the Russian Army during the Ukraine War. https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-deserter-parts-1-3/id1200361736?i=1000671164358
I'm going to remind myself that Sunday mornings are for sex, loneliness or your passion the next time I feel meh on a quiet Sunday morning.
