D ear Rhodes,

I just realized something.

I think I like being by myself.

I never used to. Being alone meant I was failing somehow. When the person I was dating eventually left, it meant I did something wrong that made them leave. I couldn’t make them stay. I couldn’t change myself, adapt, and shift my priorities enough to make them stay with me. I hated that feeling.

But this feeling?

The one where I can visualize what it looks like to actually be okay and fly instead of fall for once…it feels like a big deal.

I get it now. Or, at least, I’m starting to.

Yours,

Paige
