There is a peculiar kind of prison only highly capable women can build.
It does not look like captivity. It looks like a gorgeous kitchen, a color-coded calendar, couples therapy every Thursday, and a woman explaining why she should be grateful.
Because when you can handle almost anything, “I can survive this” starts masquerading as evidence that you should.
So you wait for the relationship, career, obligation, or identity to become undeniably awful.
You want a smoking gun.
A villain.
A catastrophe that will make your desire admissible in the court of public opinion.
But wanting more is not a legal case.
You do not need twelve exhibits and a hostile witness.
Your life does not have to become unbearable before you are allowed to stop bearing it.
Finish this sentence somewhere honest:
I keep waiting for __________ before I allow myself to __________.
Save this or share it with a woman that needs the reminder that her answer may be the door.
