I haven’t felt like writing for 8 months. How do I know it has been exactly 8 months because that is when everything in my life changed.
My 6 year relationship ended. And with that came so many changes, learning the ropes of single parenting, living on my own, having to share time with my daughter and trying to reconnect to myself again.
It has been a whirlwind and to be honest I think for a lot of it I mentally checked out. I just couldn’t deal with the overwhelming feeling of not having my shit together.
To say I have come out on the other side would be a lie but I feel like writing again and I am taking that as a really amazing sign.
For the longest time I didn’t even know how to talk about it, let alone write it down, but here I am taking the first step.
I can’t promise their will be regular blog posts and I can’t promise I won’t have my writing spark full force again, but while I have it I wanted to reconnect with you all and let you know why I have been MIA.
I am so excited for 2019, I don’t usually care much for a new year because I feel you can start each day as a new year but this one feels different, I am so ready for a fresh start.
What are you excited to leave behind in 2018? What new, positive experiences are you welcoming with open arms in 2019?
I am so excited to really focus on myself and reconnect with what lights me up!! I allowed myself to be dimmed for far to long.
