In case you haven't been reminded lately:
✨ hey. you're doing just great. ✨
its easy to feel like you are already behind; we are a few days past the New Year, and it is so easy to compare yourself to the people around you who seem like they've got it all together... and here's you. Struggling to cope. Already feeling like you've failed the year before it has truly begun.
It's okay, love. Time is fake. Every moment is a new beginning.
Maybe you are looking around your home now that the rush of the holiday season has died down, and feeling overwhelmed by everything that has got away from you. The dishes are stacking up. You can't hang up your laundry because the last load is still on the rack (and, let's be honest, it's been there a while).
That's fine. It is absolutely fine. Housework is a morally neutral task. It's okay to just do what you can, when you can.
Maybe you feel like a failure because you can't get through all those dishes. Hell, maybe you can't even stomach the idea of starting. Do half, if the whole lot is hard! Do a quarter of the dishes! Do a single cup, if that's all you've got in you. You aren't a bad person because there are dirty dishes sitting in the sink.
Maybe the laundry has been sitting on the rack because the mere thought of folding sheets and towels gives you anxiety. But, here's the thing: you don't have to do it perfectly. You don't have to do it completely. You don't have to do it the way you were raised to. Shove those idiot towels in a cupboard, unfolded! Cram that sheet in a drawer as it is! Take that, sheet.
You don't get to make me feel useless -- you're a fucking cotton blend and I am the product of stardust and supernovas and boundless potential for new beginnings.
Save your energy for things that serve you better. Invest it in yourself, what keeps you happy and healthy. There are going to be other New Year's celebrations. There will be other opportunities to "start over fresh".
But you can find a new beginning whenever you want. You can start again this very minute by deciding to treat yourself with love.
The dishes can wait. It's time for you now, sunshine!
You are so damn worthy of love.
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

the problem is that being single is seen as the consolidation prize, and not the natural neutral state of being-a-person. at the end of the movie or the book or the poetry, there is a person waiting for you at the altar, and they love you. if the play is a comedy, everyone gets married. the metaphor is about how you are not-whole. the metaphor is about how everyone is going to be happily-ever-after. the metaphor is that romantic love is the most important resource on the planet, not just all-love. all-love is not a thing, that is a disappointment. the treasure is not the friends we made along the way. the treasure is the girl you landed.
the metaphor is that you cannot be alone, that means you are broken. are you getting over someone? that is acceptable, you can be getting over someone, but not for long. you must be single because you would rather not be single. you must be single and looking to not-be-single. you must want to date, eventually.
friendship and community are never seen as being equal-to or even-better than romantic connection. that person is your one! you need to find them. you need to hunt through the sand particles until you can shift out some kind of gem. this is regardless to your own experience of the beach and the sun. you need to be somewhere with someone.
if you are taking this time alone to heal, that is so sad. everyone gives you this little pitying look. the understanding is that you are not actually happier than you were before you were single. it is seen as a sort of pity - oh, you are choosing yourself, making yourself the priority? - that isn't quite right. you must mean that you are making yourself ready for the right person. you are just laying the bed better this time. open up your heart. you'll find them, we promise!
what do you mean you're really-truly genuinely-very happy? you are probably misremembering what it was like to be in a relationship. and besides, once you meet your person, that time will look grey and bland and wasted. your person is the only way for you to see in color. so what if you have taken this time - for the first time in your entire life - to actually-for-real do the fucking work. you can be proud of yourself, sure. but the way we need to know that you got better is that you get a partner. you're healed enough for the next bad part!
people don't choose to be single, they just say they're choosing to be single - they actually mean "nobody wants to date me." it doesn't matter how many people you have gently rejected or how many times you've talked it over carefully in therapy. what matters is that you are single, and by all accounts - that means you are something worth our pity. your successes and life all seem pale in the sunlight. sure, you have done amazing things and finally found your way in life. what matters is that there wasn't a person in the room with you while you did it.
you want to tell them - that's the whole thing. i didn't know how to be alone in the room. i didn't know how to handle the silence. every moment was so sharp, and i kept choosing the wrong way to close the door. i have spent my entire life in the empty well, living in the ricochet of someone else's cruelty. for once i have built myself a ladder. for once everything i taste is all mine, every bite of sunshine and laughter. i have learned how to sleep out in the open with my memories. recently, they have started to purr.
your father rolls his eyes. listen. this isn't about you. i just want a grandchild in my future.
