When she’s partnered with Michael, Lauren thinks that “this is the life she would design if she was drunk and trying to think through the best possible version of who she could be.” What was it about Michael, do you think, that caused her to feel this way? What life would you design for yourself to be the best possible version of who you can be?
Probably the one I am living right now. After some discernment, I realized partnered life was not for me. But, as I age, I am re-thinking the wisdom of this decision.
