And then finally I just said to myself, okay, enough. No one wants to be around someone when you're like, how's your day? Fine. And not that I was that person, but internally I felt like I was that person. I love being happy and joyful and like life is so great if you look for the good.

He can give you the recipe, but you got to put all the cake mix and everything together and bake the cake. And I think so many times people expect it just like to be magic, get me out of there. And they don't want to do the works. The work is scary. Being alone is scary with the self-reflection and writing and all that. Like, cause once you're like, Oh, I have to face myself.

And that seems a little daunting and people like to distract and not come to terms with who they are. For me, I, And again, being in my 20s, I did a lot of distracting. It's fun to distract, especially at that age and you don't have kids and you can do whatever. And so I remember that after my divorce or even when my dad died, my dad died when I was 19.

I remember going out every night because I was an avoidant. Let me avoid these feelings. If I'm not feeling them, they're not happening anymore. Well, that didn't work too well. I remember losing all my hair, gaining so much weight, hyperventilating like when I would be alone. When I got a divorce, very similar. Let me go out, let me party, drink, hang out with new guys.

You know, I realized, okay, these ways of coping didn't work for so many years that when this time happened and maybe a little help of COVID, it was... around 2022, 2021, 2022, but still things were still sort of locked down a little bit.

But having to face myself and intentionally be alone, intentionally do the work, intentionally every day I wake up at 5 a.m. because I need that alone time to have my coffee, do my prayers, listen to my Bible app, like whatever it is that makes you whole. I need that. And I know when I don't have that, how different my day feels.

I like to set my intentions for the day or my workouts, the clarity I get, just whatever it is, everyone's going to be different. If you need to be outside, you have to decide that. But it did take me a long time of doing other things and seeing how horrible those things served me for me to find, okay, this I like. And yes, it's easy for me to go and date a man and
