A journey to become authentically yourself.

This all started as a blog, now it’s a conversation.

My story isn’t unique. A breakup is a breakup (seems minuscule because everyone goes through breakups), but it hurt like a bitch and it completely changed me. The events that unfolded before, throughout, and shortly after the breakup should have broken me. To be honest, it nearly did. Somehow and faster than anyone (including myself) expected, I not only survived but also came out stronger and more self aware than ever before.

On March 25, 2016 I broke up with my fiancé, a man that I was with for thirteen years. To this day, I still don’t know if I handled things well as it played out. What I do know is I navigated in the way that felt right to me. It was the relatable journey that led me to write about my experience and share it.

I am not a dating expert, or a psychologist, or Carrie Bradshaw. I do not claim that I am a professional or a specialist at any of these topics. All I claim is that I lived it and this is how I maneuvered and survived through it.

This is 100% authentic and honest to my recollection of the worst and best years of my life!
