- “Does your partner treat you like
you’re special?” - “What means special?”
- “Like, you’re most important.
Like, you’re always the priority.
You get whatever you want.” - “Thank God, no!
I’m not most important. I don’t want to be.
That’s narcissistic and that’s never romantic.
I’m not the priority, not when I praise equality.
And I’m grateful I don’t get whatever I want;
I’m an adult and I know I can’t and I won’t.
But yes, my partner treats me like I’m human.
I can be myself here.
I’m flawed. I’m imperfect. And yet,
I’m accepted as I am.
I’m not forced to be someone I’m not.
I don’t have to force myself to wear any masks.
Yes, my opinions are asked and valued.
Yes, they can be different than my partner’s;
and I’m not shamed for it.
I don’t have to edit myself as per a script.
I can breathe free. I can live free.
We have a great bond; not a rigid lock.
And yes, I’m loved! I’m appreciated!
Not just for what I do; but for who I am.
We’re two ordinary people in a healthy relation.
It works; for there’s simplicity in it.
And yes, that’s so special!”
