I live well. It does not always feel that way. I’ve spoken at length about the home issues and the respect issues, but I am learning to make myself ignorant of those things and seizing the power by engaging on my terms and only then. This is a lesson I had to learn. Other equally important lessons include finding balance in how I spend my time, finding ways to be creative, and understanding what happiness looks like to me and to my partner–even when those are not necessarily identical. I can, for example, spend three hours on Minecraft and feel entirely fulfilled by the experience. But that isn’t balance. We both need to feel fulfilled together and individually. This is the way.
Some Thoughts:
- Finally watched that 90s show and realized that Eric Forman grew up to be me…. sorta. Oof.
