2025… I finalised a divorce from a man I spent 10 years of my life with.
I changed jobs.
I lost a business.
I lost friends.
I cried more tears than I thought a human could cry.
My health plummeted. 
My self-worth hit a place I never want to revisit. I lost who I was. But I also found something unexpected. 
I started a new job that saved me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. 
From it came the most beautiful friendships, the kind that feel like home and will last a lifetime. I travelled to Bali to heal. 
I chose myself, even when it was uncomfortable. 
At 34, I created a new life on my own, something I hadn’t done since I was 22. I healed my relationship with my ex-husband, someone I spent a decade loving, and who I can now call a friend for the next chapter ahead. I booked my first ever trip to Europe..five weeks, solo, something I’ll take into 2026 as a promise to myself. I lived my 20s again in a way I didn’t know I needed to, and I’m grateful for that chapter. 
But I’m ready to say goodbye to 2025.
