“Every relationship we enter is an opportunity to enact justice and a site of potential liberation. Injustice and oppression, after all, are a series of bad relationships on a systemic scale: devaluing, abusing or exploiting others. Applying a liberatory framework to my intimate relationships looks like being in balance and reciprocity, and moving from reverence and unconditional kindness. It looks like practicing clear communication, transparency and consent. We get to notice what privileges and past histories create power dynamics inside the relationship; to be upfront about our patterns and work to hold power with, instead of vying for power over, one another.”
Just so lovely.
