I Want To Be Your Second Priority

“If we’re dating, I want to be your second priority.

I want your first priority to be you, your ambitions, your life and your future, because my priority right now, is me and mine.

Finding happiness and security alone is crucial to finding it together.”

Find it alone, find it together. 🙏🏼💕💫

I think there’s an unwritten rule floating around that to be a strong, independent, bossbabe of a woman, you actually have to be alone and single. And while I admire so many women who are, by choice or by circumstance, I don’t believe it’s anything to be ashamed of to find a partner who is on the same path as you are & is willing to share the journey. 🗺

#realtalk: Many of you know I’ve been married & divorced, but I’ve also been (rightfully) accused of being codependent by my closest friends & family, I’m what they call a “serial monogamist”, and I’ve never been single long enough to think I would end up single for the rest of my life .. does this remind you of anyone else? 👋🏼

Single me is filled with curiosity and extreme enthusiasm for everything that life could to teach me. I’d spend a lot more time connecting w/ old and new friends and family. I‘m adventurous and dangerous and glamorous and FREE. Single me even comes with its own hashtag! 💃🏻

But I‘m also known to be a hopeful romantic at heart. And what I’m slowly but surely discovering is that if I can find a way to still be that beautiful being that I am when I’m single, while having the support and love of someone by my side, then my heart is at its fullest and I am at my best. I think that’s really what all my friends and family wanted for me - that’s what we all want for each other isn’t it? ❤️

Let’s discuss more in the comments if you can relate! Sending my love to all you independent couples out there! 🦄
