Wow. I’m just discovering all of your Medium pieces and am grateful for your insights. Leaving a 23-year marriage (which was exceedingly lonely) has been a terrifying process. I want to believe that actually being alone is the better alternative. You’ve made me hopeful that the person I become on the other side of this could be someone I really enjoy spending time with! I’m still a scared sh**less romantic at heart, but I’ll keep reading pieces like yours to remind me of the most important goal — loving myself in a way that no other person can.
