There’s so much that I could say, but won’t because I’m so full and satisfied right now. But let me say this: I too love being an untethered woman. It took age and experience for me to finally realize and own it, but now that I do, how sweet life is. Oh, and the wrestling and wrangling that I had to endure, both with myself and others, to at last own my truths. Like I love loving a man, but have never craved cohabitation or marriage, though I have done both.

It is so delicious to live during a time when being a woman can mean so many things. There’s no right or wrong way to walk through this vast and interesting world. And thanks for giving me words that help sum up yet another thing that I am and adore being — an untethered woman.
