This is an incredibly honest post, and one that I definitely identify with. It sounds like you are moving forward in a healthy way and the community piece is so important. I'm hoping to find more of that, it can feel very lonely in a midlife transition. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for saying that, Lindsey. It can be lonely, you’re right. It can feel like everyone around me is better at life, and it can also feel like hardly anyone wants to deal with real things. So I’m becoming a very real thing, kindly and unapologetically - and those who are ready for this version of me are welcome in my life. Everyone else needs to go do their own thing without me. Ultimately I think that’s the kindest way to be.

Sounding positive!
Thanks Jon! On average I’m feeling more positive. And more capable!
