I loved this Tash. Even though I am 74 and I've been celibate for about ten years, your story is relatable to me. It took time for me to realize the gifts I gained from my independence from sexual relationships but those gifts are well outlined in your piece. I can see a workshop for women around this. The culture puts out such propaganda: "To be in a "couple" is "better" than being "single." I say BullShit!

Chery! I'm so glad you could relate. Yes, I love that independence for you :) Ohh, and I love the idea for a workshop around this too. The societal need for a partner is bullshit indeed! Sending love <3
