Thank you so much for sharing this!!!! As someone who’s also in her 30s and everyone around is getting married or having kids… it truly does make you question your decisions. This was so refreshing to read. Also the roller coaster analogy made me LOL. Sometimes a bitch just needs to get off the ride for the better!

I recently went through a breakup so this was exceptionally timely and true. I didn’t realize the power of choosing myself until I finally came to the other side of grieving the relationship. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t know if there’s something in the air around here but life has definitely been serving up some CHOOSE YOU soup lately. I think a lot of women are in this same space so this letter was right on time. I love this for you.

Thank you for sharing! Totally been there! Ended my relationship of 5 years in the midst of the pandemic and pondered all of those very questions all the while knowing that I made the best decision which was also choosing myself. And recognizing, similarly, that I knew deep down that something wasn't right, but ignored, pushed to the side, and stuck it out! Congrats to you for listening to yourself, and making the tough decision! The best part of it though, you get to pour back into yourself- fully; and relearn yourself again. I'm sure you'll love what you find and discover.

Thank you so much for sharing that. I feel like so many people are going through growing pains right now and as much as it may hurt I really admire how you chose yourself no matter how hard it was. I can only imagine the strength it takes to do that. I hope you find all the love and happiness you deserve, no matter what that looks like!

IDK why I got teary eyed!! Perhaps it spoke to a place I once was and I feel you deeply. After getting through the initial shock of the break up I realized I was choosing myself and it was the right thing to do! Thank you for your transparency and sharing this...because you didn't have to. I'm praying for you in this season of life that you find you and continue to do the things that bring you BIG JOY! ❤️ You're going to be great I know it!
