Thank you so much, Joanna! I’m so glad you found it and that it spoke to you! I was gobsmacked when “Alex” taught me this too. It needs to be more widely socialized into us — especially into women — that we have the right to expect others to self-regulate. I hope this little perspective shift sets you free, and I wish you happy relationships!

As for funding a year of travel, that would’ve been an absolute dream — but unfortunately the story was deemed clickbait within days of publication. Oh well. I tried to produce something high-quality… ;)
