Not everyone is born to partner...

Not everyone is born to partner. And those who aren't, should never be shamed or shunned because they have made a different choice. In fact, our world would be much worse off without them. Many are here with a more individuated calling. Some are born to explore the interior realms, independent of relational challenges. Others, to create brilliant and beautiful things, with little to distract them. And others have been so wounded by relationship that they feel safer and happier on their own. Whatever it is, the assumption that partnership is the measure of an actualized life is misguided. Every soul has a unique path to walk. The measure of a life well-lived is whether we walk it. - Jeff Brown
