It's finally dawned on me. I am at a perfect place in my life, alone and unencumbered. Sure, I still live with my teenager so, technically I don't live by myself but all in all I lead a truly solitary lifestyle sans close friends or any additional family. I'm free of the stress, strain and possible detriment of trying to have a close, personal relationship. Thank you Jesus. I'm also free from anyone else's expectations, demands and manipulation.
I actually thrive in this low-key, drama free state of being.
My time is my own. I answer to no one. I don't have to try and figure out what someone wants from me. I don't have to put on airs or behave in a way to try and please another. In a word...Freedom!!
Since moving here two years ago, it has gradually dawned on me that I had been living at someone else's mercy, under an other persons rules and roof, for the majority of my life.
These past few days, these weeks and months have truly shown me that I thrive on my own. It's the least stressful means of existing and I am quite happy and content.
I feel good about myself and my life!!!
