It is hard to encapsulate why I feel less free, but I think it is the simple act of having to care about someone else, and that the way I spend my time also affects them. Sometimes I find it exhausting to have to go through the rigamarole of texting, setting up dates to meet up, listening to the other person's problems, and so on. I am selfish and I know this and I don't think that's a sin in and of itself. And I care; there isn't a doubt in my mind that I care. But the caring, in a way, is what limits my freedom.
