Trading responsibilities 4 quality of life
Hii internet users (and hi mom!)
I don't know exactly where to start but my life has changed a lot since the last post. (Its been so many months wtf!)
My life did a full 180 when my ex decided to break up with me. To be very fair, this should've happened years ago but there was so much more behind it. I've essentially lost my home, my business and people that mean so much to me.
But is that a bad thing?
Depends on what's more important to you. I could've had a much better life, especially with a house that will one day be paid off and a business that kept growing and growing. The catch was that I wasn't happy with all of this. I had to take so many responsibilities for that. I've led my business all by myself. From brainstorming which services could work to actually fulfilling the jobs ive gotten, this was all on my back.
The house was in an okay shape. However it was a nightmare to think about what could happen tomorrow. Could a rainstorm destroy my windows or my roof? Will I have a waterleak by tomorrow? Will someone park their car inside my home? I've had these thoughts, constantly. They've robbed so many hours of sleep.
As a people pleaser I've approved of so many things I actually didn't want, as in buying a house together for example. Lol.
Also cleaning after a person who can't take care of themselves wasn't exactly a nice thing either. I am not sure why i've kept this whole thing going for this long.
Whatever she'll be up to, I really hope the best for her, however I do not plan on seeing her ever again once all of the paperwork is done.
But am I now happier?
I absolutely am. To be honest, giving up all of this was just a relieving feeling. I've moved many hundreds of kilometers away, rented a new flat and can now clean after my own trash rather than someone elses, I no longer feel the need of operating a business and thinking about having emergency cash on the side in case someone destroys my property.
I've made more new friends in the last 3 months than in the last three years combined. But that is also partically because I actually became a likeable person thanks to my transition.
I already pass so well in some specific scenarios that i've shocked people by telling them that I am trans. And it hasn't been that long. They see me as the person who I really am, this shit makes me so happy. People who do not believe in HRT can unironically fuck off.
What are the plans for the future?
I've got no idea yet. I now get to live my now worry-free life, I get in even better shape, take even more care of myself than ever and I get to meet so many new cool people of which I've already put close to my heart (Whoever feels spoken at, XOXO).
I'd like to thank everyone who have supported me in my possibly darkest timeline and I'd like to thank especially that one girl who offered me her place when I was essentially homeless for the time after the breakup. I didn't deserve that kind of support but this has inspired me to become an even better person.
peace.
