Anarquía Relacional Quotes

“If I provide caretaking and feel cared for by a network of people whom I may be tied to by passions and attachments that may be different, with different ingredients: more or less intimacy, attention, shared life, and so on, then I will not experience interest in a new affection from a place of lack, I won’t cling to a sinking ship, I will savor and appreciate the good in people without feeling the anxiety that it could end at any moment. In that ideal situation, I will give away my engagement and my help, and I won’t put conditions on them because I know I won’t need compensation; perhaps returns won’t come from the same place where I put energy in, but from others. But that will end up supporting us collectively because we will be a network.”
