Divorce Diaries (Part 6: Separated but Living Under the Same Roof. The Silence is Deafening!)

          Being separated is one thing, but being separated under the same four walls is another story. There’s nothing more of a mind-fuck than seeing the shell of the person you once knew walk by you every day. There’s little to no speaking. Most days it’s a 1 to 5 words limit. One day it … More Divorce Diaries (Part 6: Separated but Living Under the Same Roof. The Silence is Deafening!)

Divorce Diaries (Part 5: Why I am Choosing the Harder Path and Not Asking for Alimony… )

March 16, 2025

          So recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the things that we love and the things that we enjoy. The type of things that we may not allow ourselves to enjoy in the present, because we feel like there will be a perfect moment to enjoy it later.

January 23, 2025

           Well, what can I say? It’s been an emotional month. I actually didn’t expect to feel as many emotions as I have been feeling lately.
