Love and Sobriety: Navigating Romantic and Sexual Ideals at The CCC
I think sometimes you can get so rigid to where you really don't have an openness. Um, because I don't know about you, but oftentimes I don't always know what's best for me. Um, I often don't have the imagination or I haven't quite figured it out yet, and if I'm open enough, maybe that thing will come into my life for that person and I'd be like, oh wait, that's, that's kind of what I was missing or that's kind of what I was looking for.
