Thank you for writing this out so well. I feel like I'm in a sort of similar place. Five years ago I wouldn't have said I was happy. Today? And not just today metaphorically but literally today, Valentine's Day when I'm single and sharing my bed with a cat? Yeah. I think I'm happy. The best example I'd have of love lost is a good friend who randomly texted me a picture of her cats last night. She's in a relationship that appears really healthy. And I think I'm single and not just as healthy as I've ever been, but actually healthy. We have a great friendship.
Weird felling, ain't it. Good, but weird. I'm technically on a medical necessity controlled diet, but I still did my February thing and bought $200 worth of fancy chocolates. Instead of eating them all by myself as I normally do every year, this year I shared them at the office.Five years ago I wouldn't have said I was happy. Today?
