For nearly a decade, I found myself in what I thought was a relationship but turned out to be a ‘situationship’—a confusing, unfulfilling space with someone who wasn’t ready for the depth I was seeking. At the same time, I found myself entangled in a similar pattern with my job of two decades. My work became my whole world, claiming to be my ‘family’ because I spent so much time there. But, over time, I realized that this job was just as dysfunctional as the family dynamics I thought I’d escaped.<br /><br /> All of this built up over two years, leading me to a breaking point that forced me to take a step back and focus on healing through intensive therapy. When I finally chose to end that ‘situationship,’ I marked it by bringing a new kitten into my life, a symbol of new beginnings. Now, I’m in the process of closing the chapter on my ‘relationship’ with my employer, too, recognizing that I deserve a truly supportive environment.<br /><br /> A major part of this journey has been grappling with my own reflection. I look so much like my father, and that resemblance has made it hard for me to look in the mirror or at photos of myself, carrying years of self-doubt. But just five months after ending things with the man who couldn’t give me the love I needed, I found what I believe is real love—or at the very least, the respect and care I’ve always deserved—with a man who shows up for me wholeheartedly.<br /><br /> This journey has been about learning to let myself be loved and, even more importantly, learning to love myself. I’m excited to share more of that journey with you here.
