Sometimes as men, we mature emotionally at the expense of women’s emotional labor. Fortunately soon after a first date I caught that for myself. While she presented herself as a safe container for me to express these raw thoughts, it still felt like progressing forward would just be more of that.
2025 has been a long year and the first half I dealt with lots of compounding events that despite 7 months passing since my breakup, there’s still healing necessary n out just from my relationship ending and what came with that but the time I didn’t make for grief has come around and MADE me make time for it now.
I talk here about processing the avoidance while also looking to lean on to the safe spaces for me to practice existing in this identity that feels most aligned for me, but still I face internal resistance not to moving on but leaning in to this identity with people who can help me, and want to be there for me rather than trying to fill a blank space necessary for that self I thought I was to exist.
