I Feel So Empowered After My Divorce
When you’re on your own, you find ways to be creative. I can’t lift a 200-pound desk by myself, but I can use leverage and lift one end at a time and “roll” it into place. And dead animals and half-rotted leaves and slimy, wriggling critters in a gutter are gross as hell, but I am all about closing my eyes, holding my breath, and digging in with a gloved hand.
Give me any tough job, and I’ll roll up my sleeves and get that shit done. I may not be graceful in how I go about it, but dammit, it’ll get done. And for the stuff I simply cannot do — usually due to time constraints — I outsource it. My lawn guy does a fantastic job on my lawn, accomplishing in 45 minutes what would cost me an entire day not to mention thousands of dollars in equipment. I gleefully pay him his $30 fee.
And if you’re like I used to be, not sure you have the strength to be independent, I’m telling you, you are so much stronger than you think. You are independent, creative, and tenacious as fuck. And my wish for you is that you don’t have to be on your own before you figure this out about yourself.
