Age 39

Tomorrow is my 39th birthday. I am equal parts excited and apprehensive about this. I am apprehensive because I only have 1 year left before I turn 40. But I am excited because I feel as if this upcoming year will be the turning point in my life. The days of focusing on unavailable men and trying to pursue a "relationship" with them are over. Seeking someone to fill me up yet feeling constantly empty: that's over too. Because for the very first time in my life, I will be building a relationship with myself. I will be filling myself up. I realize that all of this will take time because it took time (my entire life!) to get this way. However, I am committed to this journey of getting to know myself. Never again will I put someone else first at the expense of myself. One of the biggest truths in life is that you can't truly love anyone else unless you love yourself! 2018 will be the year I find love for myself.
