Hello and welcome to my complicated world! You can call me Elle. I’m a whimsical, unique, caring, slightly introverted and charismatic, and somewhat animated type of person with versatile interests. There’s so many sides to me you would think I that I was a Gemini. Lol. 🙂 I’m also a former college grad that seems to get a little lost in the world. I’ve been a student majority of my whole life, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. To be honest college was not a breeze for me. It took way over 4 years for me to graduate, and it took over two years before I got my masters. It feels so weird not referring to myself as a student anymore. Now I’m starting a new chapter in life. I started this blog because I know there’s others like me, and I want to let them know that they’re not alone. It’s hard feeling lost at this age, but I am determined to make it. As the saying goes: “I just gotta make it!”
         This week’s post will be fairly short. I was going to skip this week, but since I skipped the first Thursday after the move, I decided to go ahead and give another weekly update. I will say not much has changed since my last post. I’ve still been adjusting, trying to figure out what’s … More Divorce Diaries (Part 17: Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward)
         It’s been a rough start since I officially moved out of my home. I knew that I would miss my place and what I’ve grown accustomed to over the years, but it was even the little things that I didn’t think about that made the transition harder. My soon-to-be ex-husband moved out a little … More Divorced Diaries (Part 16: Adjusting to my New Surroundings After the Move.)
I can’t wait until this month comes to an end. I’ve been stressing so much during this move. I hate packing. It’s insane how much one can accumulate over the years. I need to start embracing minimalism in the near future. I hold onto way too many things. It’s ridiculous. I’ve never been one … More Divorce Diaries (Part 15: Packing Up the Memories)
I’ve been thinking about how things were going to be during this time since January, and now that the time has come, it’s been interesting to say the least. It has been a few days since my soon-to-be ex-husband started sleeping at his new place and the emotions have been quite magenta (in the … More Divorce Diaries (Pt 14: Physically Separated. Finally living apart…)
Throughout this journey of slowly separating, I’ve felt so many emotions. More than I could ever imagine. It hasn’t been a straight line, downward slope or a uphill slope. It has been a roller coaster of zigzags, but one feeling that has remained constant is ….fear. Fear of the unknown. It’s scary you know, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 13: And Just Like That… I found a Reason to feel Hopeful.)
         Most of us are familiar with the popular show The Office. It’s definitely one of my top favorite shows. I started watching The Office about 9 to 10 years ago. I wanted to see what the hype was all about, and just like most of America I fell in love with it and became … More Divorce Diaries (Part 12: Are you able to Share Your Thoughts and Feelings? )
         Next month is going to be a busy month, and I’m already looking forward to July. I like to try to document my journey every Thursday, but it’s getting harder. There’s just so much to do. It’s been a busy month, and next month it will be busier. If only I was a minimalist, … More Divorce Diaries (Part 11: Trying Something New to aid in my Healing Process)
          Lately I’ve been trying to learn how to forgive myself. This is probably one of the hardest parts of my divorce journey and will most likely take the most time. I know that people say hindsight is 20/20. They always say you shouldn’t judge the person you were years ago. Hell, even I always … More Divorce Diaries (Part 10: Learning How to Forgive Myself for Ignoring the Red Flags.)
I think I entered a new phase of this journey a couple of weeks ago, and I’m not even sure what to call this phase. After I mentioned letting go in my last post, I thought I finally came into acceptance of a lot of things. I didn’t want to let go of the … More Divorce Diaries (Part 9: The Mental Floating Zone of Protection… Detaching.)
One thing that has always been hard for me is letting go. Not just letting go but letting go and jumping into the unknown. This is the most frightened that I have ever been in my life. Instead of just worrying about one or two things, I now have anxiety in every area of … More Divorce Diaries (Part 8: The Season of Letting Go)
