You asked me about marriage when you came home from a work trip in San Francisco. I don’t know why it was the perfect time to tell you we were done.
It weighed on me for an entire year before that.
I’ve known about the importance of unapologetically owning my story;
I’ve known about saying no to what doesn’t serve me and my best interests;
I’ve known for a while that I have to navigate this life pivot to be my best self;
but I wasn’t prepared to say it until now.
A weight was lifted immediately. I feel free. I can begin.
