Twists and Turns

The fire is lit and it is inky-black outside. This week has taken some interesting twists and turns, but I feel better for it. Ah, the relief! And it feels so good to be comforted by the warmth of home and the anticipation of Christmas.

I recently sort-of dipped my toe in the dating world again, but fast realised that I was falling back into my old pattern of losing who I was. It continues to astonish me that I manage to do this every single time I start seeing a man... out of the window goes the dancing, and the connections with my family and friends. The very backbone of "who I am", I let slide and become all-consumed by The Relationship. Completely unhealthy and I end up feeling as though I have ceased to be me. It really is time I put a stop to this ghastly cycle.

So... here’s to another fresh start where I keep alive all those lovely Lucy-interests which make me happy and make me feel whole. I grant you permission to kick my arse if I ever do this again. Singledom, I embrace you joyfully. There is fun to be had!
