I did not expect that my journey to finding love would be so controversial and alienate me from either side. I always knew that it wouldn’t be popular with the more conservative group - nothing about my self expression is. But I was equally surprised when someone of the feminist women I know and look up to expressed disappointment in me. Nonetheless, this is my journey and truth, and I choose to live it. I know that romantic relationships have been a graveyard for powerful women but I still choose to pursue them with hopes that I’ll cultivate a fulfilling partnership, and that opening up about the process will keep me honest.
