I need to think about how I could be best using my energy. And I need to think about the long-term repercussions.
I do enjoy my evenings so much more when I am not hooked by this ‘Turtle story’. It is fun to talk to men, go down research rabbit holes, and work on a new creative project.
Long term?
Lately, I realised that I think my psychologist was right. And he didn’t want to see me get hurt.
I got hurt.
It hurt.
This is not some fairy tale. I am not an exception. There is no future in this connection, I think. And yet, I am invested on some level. . . So, what real good would come from continuing this power imbalance?
