and I have had an amazing relationship. I can’t think of a better one, TBH.
And I know that we’ll have a positive end to it, too.
See everyone, what distinguishes the best relationships from the rest is honesty. It’s laying it all out for your so, your partner, so that you both can navigate the trials and tribulations of life together.
Yeah, I know, lol. Dun dun dunnnnn! LMAO.
But no, for real.
I’m referring to Lily’s recent quote in Vogue magazine. The one she gave at the MET gala. Here: http://www.vogue.com/article/met-gala-2017-humans-of-new-york-photos-hony. You’ll need to scroll the gallery to the right once to see it.
There, Lily says, and I quote: “My biggest remaining goal is to be a mother.”
Perfect. Thanks, Lily.
See, everyone? Communication. It’s the lifeblood of a relationship. It’s what makes it tick correctly for all involved. It’s what makes it work.
IMO Lily’s signaling of this is the perfect way for us both to begin to “disconnect”, so that we can move apart and make room for other things in our lives.
See- this way things can be handled smoothly, as they come, rather than not handled well at all because of a lack of effective communication.
So.
What does this mean for Lily and I, then?
Well, we will need to separate, of course, and go our different ways. Not right away, necessarily, but over time, yes. As we should. People with vastly different goals and destinations in life should not not be together intimately, as I’ve discussed here before. No exceptions- it’s just a logical rule of relationships, that’s all.
For a while, our destinations converged, and we created great things, together. Important things. Meaningful things. And our paths are still somewhat close, for now. But we will need to move on.
And truly, I can’t emphasize enough again that NO exceptions will be made, vis-a-vis my relationships. I know that there are some out there who may be hoping for an “out” of this rule, but they should stop hoping; there is no way to get one. Remember- it’s compatibility, that common ground, that makes a relationship work, and the things that interest me are not what interests someone raising a family, or even someone who wants to. Any child or engagement to anyone else is my cutoff- which is best for all involved.
So, that’s that, then.
Wonderful. Thanks, Lily.
Thanks for everything.
