✦ PULSE✦

I’ve been thinking a lot about the ways we’re beginning to relate to love differently. Not because I think people have stopped wanting romance, but because I think more of us are questioning what we’re willing to sacrifice for it.

There’s something interesting happening in the way people are choosing solitude, becoming more intentional with dating, reconsidering sex, protecting their peace, and learning that being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely.

Maybe we’re not becoming less romantic. Maybe we’re becoming more honest about what romance should actually feel like.

I wanted to sit with that question for a little while—not to tell anyone what they should want, but to make room for the people who have quietly felt the same shift and never quite knew how to put it into words.

Are we done with romance, or just done settling?
