Growing, but Still Wondering

It’s been five years since my divorce. Five years of figuring things out on my own, of filling my days with work, hobbies, and late-night thoughts I don’t always share with others. I never planned to stay single this long it just kind of… happened. At first, I told myself I’d start dating when I was ready. Then “ready” turned into “after I get my life together,” and somehow, here I am, half a decade later, still rolling solo. And honestly? Most days, I’m okay with it. I’ve built a life I’m proud of. I have a job that keeps me busy, friends who make me laugh, and a dog that thinks I’m the best person in the world. But some nights, when the world quiets down, I wonder—is this it? Maybe love will find me again. Maybe it won’t. But for now, I’ll just keep moving forward, one day at a time.
