#5 - Till Death Do Us Part

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.Episode 5 took two attempts and two states before I finally got it out.This is my first real solo riff. No guest. No full script. Just something that happened this week that sent me into a much bigger conversation about love, dating, marriage, social media, sex, family, and the things we expect another person to fix in us.I come from a family where divorce has been much closer to the rule than the exception. Somehow, I still grew up wanting forever.I talk through the three serious relationships that helped build my philosophy, including a broken engagement, while trying very hard not to tell anyone’s story but my own. I question the institution of marriage and the timelines we inherit in rural Alabama, but I also question myself, my selfishness, my need to be chosen, and whether I have always understood the difference between loving somebody and needing what they gave me.I still believe in love.I am just trying to figure out how often I have actually practiced it.
