Applying solarpunk philosophy to my love life: I have recently realized the “one” I thought I was seeking, my utopian partner, was not the one for me. As Oscar Wilde suggests, I have followed the map to what I thought was a utopia, but upon landing here I have seen there is something further. There is no shame or sorrow to be had in simply obtaining a higher perspective. If we had not been striving for that perspective we would not have landed where we did, or have seen out further as we do now.
“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing. And when Humanity lands there, it looks out, and, seeing a better country, sets sail. Progress is the realization of utopias.”–Oscar Wilde
