And I bought a weed whacker and sheers and took care of my yard this year. Alone.
I broke up with my ex bf 6 months ago and I have less anxiety than ever. I’m living by myself for the first time. All my bills are paid. I bought a new car. I’m eating healthier. I’m smoking less weed.
I’m not scared to get up on a ladder anymore. I’m not scared of power tools. I’m fully capable on my own.
It turns out, having someone to rely on, was actually holding me back. It was letting me hold on to anxieties and pretend like I couldn’t do things. No more.
I miss having that person. I miss the things about them that I don’t have on my own. But I am healthier person without them.
