In the two and a half months since my breakup, I have:
- cut my hair off
- lost twenty pounds
- detoxed from all sugar and grains
- given up my (formerly) beloved diet Pepsi completely
- signed up for a 5K
- started to make peace with the fact that I have clinical depression. For real.
- read a dozen new books
- binge watched American Horror Story, The Office, The Walking Dead, Bates Motel
- cried at work in front of my sweet boss
- started attending a grief support group for survivors of suicide loss
- wondered if anyone would ever love me again
- hit OKCupid again
- had a date with someone new
- told a date that we just didn’t click
- switched to decaf, from regular coffee
- sang karaoke
- reached out to friends for emotional support
- missed Special Man Friend more often than I wish
- tried my hand at painting
- cried while my mother held my hand
- started feeling every single emotion that has been buried for several years
- begged the universe to return me to my formerly numb state
- thanked the universe for allowing me to feel again
- and a hundred other things
I’m really proud of you! That is an impressive list.
Go you!!! Thinking of you as you push forward – to your future.
