The Habitual Monogamist
An Invitation
Love has been my greatest teacher.
I didn’t plan it this way, but my life has unfolded in chapters marked by the people I’ve loved. Each relationship, whether it lasted years, months, or moments, brought with it a lesson. Some were obvious, some only revealed themselves years later. All of them have left me changed.
I’ve been the soulmate, the lover, the friend who stayed too long, and the one who walked away. Each story is different. Each one is true. And together, they’ve built a kind of map of my life that I’ve decided to share here, with you.
This isn’t fiction. These are my stories, my lived experiences. To protect privacy (and maybe keep a little mystery), the characters will have titles, not names: the soulmate, the musician, the gay one… but every emotion, every mistake, every revelation is real.
Why tell these stories now? Because I’ve realized that love is more than romance. It’s more than heartbreak. It’s the curriculum of life. And somewhere along the way, I’ve stopped seeing my history as a series of failures and started recognizing it as a kind of education.
Think of this as a serial memoir. A journal that unfolds like a novel. One chapter at a time.
