Love 2.0 at Age 45— Finding Your Match
Are you ready to be in a relationship?
Ending my marriage was one of the toughest decisions I had to make in my life. It was almost ten years in the making, ten years of questioning myself before I was ready to make the move.
Coming out of that marriage felt freeing. I was able to breathe again. I freed myself of a certain level of negativity and toxicity that was in the air.
I deserved better. We both deserved better. Maybe it was the love that was once present between us that made me want to set us both free……..free us from the misery and the facade of a happy family.
In addition to dealing with the painful formalities of divorce and the rollercoaster ride with the pain, grief, and loss of a promise of a future together, what was much needed was to focus on the healing process.
It was time for self-care and reflection. There was a lot of scarring and some fresh, open wounds that needed to heal. It would take time and effort, but I needed to bounce back to a semblance of the person that I once was.
What next?
2022 was my year to work on myself. I went to therapy, reflected on my marriage, tended to my wounds, and found ways to heal. I nourished my soul with things that brought me happiness…
