The Unpartnered Woman
Symbol: The Flame Within a Frame
A fire too honest for the container. A life that kept glowing outside the lines.
​​
​
You’re not single.
You’re sovereign.
​
They built a box for you—
called it “someday,”
called it “someone,”
called it “not quite yet.”
​
But you didn’t wait for someone to arrive.
You arrived for yourself.
​
You learned how to hold your own aloneness like a candle,
how to decorate your silence with music,
how to find ritual in mornings without company.
​
You’ve never been incomplete.
You’ve just been too radiant for the frame.
​
You are not a placeholder.
You are not almost.
You are not prepping for a real life that starts when someone picks you.
​
You are the flame within the frame.
Too expansive. Too exact. Too glorious to shrink just to fit.
​
You are not “still single.”
You are not behind.
You are not waiting.​
You are burning beautifully right now.
And anyone who sees you clearly will feel it like light against skin.*​
