I am now ready to accept a happy fulfilling relationship

Rooms get cleared before guests arrive. That is the practical half of readiness, and it is more useful than waiting for the feeling.

Sometimes what occupies the space is an old attachment still taking up an evening a week. Sometimes it is a schedule with nothing spare in it. Sometimes it is a story about yourself in which this doesn't happen to people like you.

You don't have to be finished to be ready. You do have to leave one shelf empty.
