She either prefers it that way or hasn't met a good guy yet or both.

Her life. Her choice. Respect that.

Carl Jung has always fascinated many. His archetypes still seem almost mystical in construction, so thank you for your interpretation.

Well, there aren't that many answers, but they're all pretty simple.

If I could restack every single sentence, I would.

Great piece. Does this apply to men as well? Asking for a friend. :) I'm all of the things you describe and I haven't had a date in over 2.5 years.

It read like a poem. Something like Rumi or Kahlil Gibran. I just loved it, smiling the entire way through. Thank you.

Wow that was some potent wisdom. I feel as if right now I am being tossed in the fire being taught to learn every one of those lessons. That which has come so easily to many as common knowledge or common sense in life has evaded me up until now. I have placed no value on emotions believing that no one cared at all about anyone else. I have always cared so deeply but from a self centered position which I now realize is not caring at all. Life has just been a rush for me. Getting anywhere as quickly as possible to get as much as possible so I can be admired as much as possible. To be seen as the perfect one and as I’ve made choices which have inevitably taken me further and further from perfect the weight of my masks and what is has taken to uphold them has become more than I can handle. I just want to take them off but I can be so ugly underneath. Am I all the things I outwardly show yes, but I am also the counterparts of all those things. And I’m extreme and manic in all regards. Sorry went off on a lil tangent there but anyways thank you…. I loved your advice!

I'm glad you found the advice helpful..

It seems like you're going through a lot of self-discovery right now, which can be tough but also really rewarding.it's okay to take off those masks and show your true self, even if it feels scary sometimes. You're not alone in this journey..

Thank you for being part of this beautiful journey.

An interesting read, but it’s more like a collection of quotes. My first thought was that it should’ve been titled “A collection of quotes,” then I wondered if it was an AI generated collection of quotes. JS the title doesn’t fit.

Additionally, the last paragraph needs an editorial correction. The first word of the last paragraph should be As, not “Has.”
