A letter from Jan 31, 2025

Dear self, I'm 37 this year. Honestly, sometimes I feel like the chance to get married and have a family has passed me by. I see others moving forward with their lives - married, starting families - and I can't help but wonder if I missed my shot. The divorce left me with an emptiness I struggled to fill. I'm doing my best to heal. In a year, I hope you've found peace with where you are. Maybe you've found comfort in yourself and your journey or maybe you've discovered a way to let go of some of the sadness. I don't know what the future holds, but I hope it's a little gentler with you.
