Once upon a time, I romanticized and dreamed of walking down the aisles of Paris hand in hand with a lover…
I WAS 19 THEN, ALMOST 8yrs LATER I’M YET TO ACTUALIZE THESE DREAMS.
I discovered
something
much more fulfilling.
The idea that it takes two to unlock the exploration of romance is a skewed concept I once adhered to.
over the years through series of heart breaks and multiple failures in relationships i discovered that
True romance begins with self.
My emotional independence was brought to the fore in 2018 when I paid attention to certain patterns that no longer served me.
To break free from the emotional paralysis of ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ relying on others to fulfill my happiness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The journey to self discovery and self love is not a walk in the park. It’s the route less traveled that leads to a life well lived.

Ultimately, we cannot expect others to provide the experiences
we do not create for ourselves first…. happiness and fulfillment included.
