1. Unmarried and unmortaged is wonderfully liberating but when self doubt trips me up I start to question my life’s choices and can get stuck in a negative mind loop of I’m a loser, I’ve done life the ‘wrong’ way round.
2. I was in an abusive relationship with my sons father and I got out, yay go me, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever done but when I look back if I am not careful I get sad and resentful at its lingering effects on me. I know that’s poisonous so I keep it in check and look forward. Onwards and upwards my darlings 🏹
3. I don’t own my own home (see point 1) Last year I packed up the rental I shared with my son, had a massive declutter and put the rest into storage. Now I’m an empty nester and in my 🦋 ‘butterfly era’ This looks great on the outside but there’s a lot of logistics, sets of keys and tracking things down across multiple postcodes.
4. I may not have a life partner *yet* but I have many wonderful friends that I love and trust to the moon and back, you know who you are 🙏
5 I’m not in a rush but I’m also ready, finally! However I’ve been single for so long 10+ years I can’t even comprehend what a committed relationship would look like in real life.
6 I fear I’m too weird (and wonderful) and I know it’s ridiculous but who would love me!!! WhaaaaaaaaaatdaF Serious tho I wonder who is he? Hmm something to ponder on.
7 It feels cathartic to write this down. I do lots of helping other people face the challenges of their lives and to feel into and realise their dreams ✨ It feels good to finally have some time and space to lean into mine 🙏
Thank you for reading, please be gentle with me, this is very raw, but if it resonates follow along for more
