You speak-a my language again! I love that you can track your progress with the friend’s baby, and remind yourself it’s only time for “chubby baby perfection.” I am glad for that. Lovely. 💐

Thanks! It’s very convenient that my friends have kids so perfectly timed with my life transitions 😂

It just occurred to me that my best friends baby is the same age as my divorce. She’s 3 now 😱 I did the same thing - googling when I will be healed. I wished for it to be a year so I could just feel better. Like you after a year the possibilities were so great!

It is so affirming to know that you did the exact same things! It’s exactly one year this weekend and I’m just reflecting on how wildly, wonderfully different my life is now.

Ha, I definitely didn't invent the metaphor (thanks, therapy TikTok) but I do really find it helpful, glad you do too!

So happy to read about your healing in the past year! It will be interesting, for me, to read what you will write a year from now. Cute baby!

It will be interesting for me too! Each month is so different from the last, I’m sure next summer will be utterly different yet again!
