Last year in September I also ended 10 years relationship. Even tough it' long time ago I'm still trying to process that this person is not in my life anymore. Your words are mine words, but year ago. It fascinates me how accurate it is. But let me say, you are strong and this time might be challenging, but you will get stronger and feeling much better. Wish you all the best

Dear Ania, your bravery is inspiring and I admire it. I still can’t say out loud - I am single - even though I have been for the last year and three months now. Saying this out loud after six years of relationship and life together with my ex-partner makes me feel like a failure, like I didn’t find the way to keep that fireplace of love growing. It’s the first time I’m saying these things beyond my diary lines, my therapy sessions and it feels liberating. Let this space of common sharing that you opened here bring strength. P.S. it’s funny, as I can’t fall asleep on this Full Moon, I finally got myself the book I wanted to read in years - Women who run with the wolves - maybe you heard of it too. Big hug 🫂

Vasy, I have this book with me as we speak:) Waiting for me to finish Dolly Alderton’s “Ghosts” in a day or two, and then it’s wolves time! I found it on my street some months ago, but couldn’t get myself to start. I finally feel like I have the space to read it. Let’s see how we like it. I have a feeling we will :)

No failure in realizing what one really needs. For me that’s nothing short of strength, that’s how I see it and hope you can too ♥️

Dear, you seem to have all the tools needed in such a situation! Changing time are always challenging times, but as we say in Italy, 'one door closes, a bigger door opens'! Let life carry you, but you already know...:-)) And thank you for sharing such intimate feelings! In a time when anybody posts anything about...nothing, your post is pure gold!

Love that you said that. Thank you ♥️

It was as good as a breakup can get and we’re both lucky to still have each other to lean on on difficult days. That makes all the difference in the world. Hugs 🤗

Break-ups are always hard and learning how to do life differently through change is challenging but you're handling it with grace and beauty. <3
