Do you think those who are partnered can do that for their partners as well?

Sometimes the English language is far too small for the concepts and ideas we need to express.

I have to anchor things with symbols that mean something to me.

Good mom
Wicked Stepmother
Prince Charming
Black Knight
Hermit
Cheerleader

Then I can expand around those word anchors. I am not sure any one can describe themselves in a way that they would find satisfying.

When I try...I start with labels. Femme, queer, poet, author, aunt....

So without those labels, who am I? Who are you?

Does this make sense? I fear I am missing my own point again.
