Summary

You don’t need to change someone’s perception of you to be valid. Here’s what you can do instead: sit with the discomfort that you’re the villain in someone else’s story, find ways to meet your needs without extracting them from other people, and refuse to give relationship nostalgia more weight than it needs (or say fuck it and shoot your shot—it worked for Sierra and her wife!).
