It’s easy to accept the bare minimum when it becomes the narrative of our personal story. I was so busy searching for someone to make me whole that I lost the ability to build trust in not only my voice, but also my individuality. Richmond showed me that being alone is better than sharing space with someone who wasn’t a match. I walked away with a clearer understanding that I had to stop settling and forcing and being okay with the scraps of people’s effort and time.
