Meta-thread:
I want to compile all of my twitter threads that touch on what I care about in a romantic partnership / spiritual collaboration.
This is largely for my own reference.
However, it occurs to me that a bunch of disparate threads, each of which was alive when I wrote it, and each dealing with a different facet, might in aggregate, be a good way of conveying the ephemeral thing-ness of my experience.
I'm increasingly resistant to try and describe what I want in this domain in any kind of top-down way, because when I try, my descriptions often feel "flat" to me, and more-often-than-not I feel missed or projected on.
Maybe this will work better?
[I'll continue to add to this, as I write more of these, if I write more of these.]

Comments on the ever expanding inferential divide that comes with growth and re-ontologizing, or at least the kind of growth and re-ontologizing that I'm doing:
On my relationship to the spiritual dimension of my altruism. (This might not seem related, but for me, it is EXTREMELY connected):
The people that you spend the most time with are who you merge with, and this is especially true of romantic partnerships:
@threadreaderapp unroll
On a recent shift in my orientation to this whole thing, with some threads of how the romantic thing is tied to the ambition of my work.
[I forgot about this one.]
A response to a thread that triggered me and annoyed me, about settling, and about how romantic relationships intertwine with personal development.
