    Just deleted a dating app for the umpteenth time and sat here and said “I’m going to be single forever” and then I snapped out of it and reminded myself that I need to really focus on myself and headed to YT to search decentering men and here you are. Your solar system metaphor is one I plan on running with bc it really made me feel 10x better. Thank you.
