I absolutely loved the line “ our new (very old) home had sloping floors and grooves in the stairs from hundreds of years of footsteps. There were two bedrooms and so many doors. This was our opportunity for redesign.”…I’m reading it abstractly as a metaphor to break out of the societal definition/constraint of what an intimate relationship should look like. The definition is as old as time and those before us have followed the blueprint and we still follow in their footsteps. Only two bedrooms and yet so many doors…Yes, girl!!! I say redesign it to do what works for you…you shouldn’t have to fit a mold that was built for someone else. Bravo Serena!!! Thank you for your authenticity, such a beautifully written essay!!! —-Nelly Buller

“Maybe I don’t like the suggestion that we all accept marriage as a closed bathroom door and agree claustrophobia is a good thing.”
Damn that’s a powerful sentence.
