I will no longer be feeling bad about dating multiple people at the same time in order to get all my needs and desires met. History has shown to me that one man is not enough in the long term. The responsible response to that is honesty. Honesty with myself and honesty with those I date. Each person fulfills, inspires, or matches a different aspect of myself. As much as I once wanted to live the ideal one partner fantasy, it simply isn't enough for me, and I shouldn't have to feel bad about that. I am who I am and I deserve to be happy and fulfilled. Men aren't raised to understand women, and no human is trained to be my sole personal servant of happiness. I bring what I bring, and they bring what they bring. I don't want to be owned, or told how to be, and I don't need to own or tell another how to be either. I want freedom to be my best self, and any person willing to stand by my side as an equal can bring whatever they are capable of bringing to the table. I don't want to be married or have children. I just want to be independent with my basic human needs met. I don't want to enslave or be enslaved, and that dynamic has no place in my life of fulfillment in love or sex.
