Love this. I have a new crush every two market days, but of course I’d rather chew jeans than make that first move. 😮‍💨

Found this post insightful and also humorous.

The need to measure our worth by what others see and affirm in us— sis!!

Thank you for this beautiful piece!

This was so edifying. And I could totally relate.

Well, we move regardless.

All eyes on the truth - I'm God's type and the earthlings can catch up if they like😂.

I won't share my story again because I don too share 😂😭

Anywhoo, when you said a typewriter wasn't everybody's type, I hollered. You're funny please.

But thank you for sharing this letter because I needed to hear the line about my worth not shifting with anyone’s preferences. Thank youuuu❤️

"Everybody likes what they like"

I don't think attraction is weird, I mean, Adam was attracted to Eve in the garden of Eden.

Ps: who else was waiting to hear the end of the story🥺😩

I'm glad I read this tonight.😌

Anything attraction???? Just count me in🤣

Your worth doesn’t shift with anyone’s preferences, and a true connection wouldn’t demand you become something you’re not📌. (I should hold on to that).

Plus, I see what you did there, ma'am 🤣🤣. The typewriter?? OMG

Thanks for your amazing works, as always.🌹

Literally had my first crush in years and I know i have a type and I think so does he and it kinda stings cause i cannot mold myself into what I'm not.

It's either they are attracted you or they are not
