I'm now 44. 33 years in long-term relationships! How do I even begin to know how to be single? </span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was journaling a little while ago and wrote: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I just need to focus on my own healing and
learning to be my own person without so much influence from another. <o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I want to know who I really am. Who am I when
it is just me, myself, and I, and not me with another person in my life that I
have to cohabitate with as a cohesive and functioning unit. Who am I when I can make my own decisions without having to consult with another person? Who am I when I can do what I want, when I want, where I want? </span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It will be interesting to see who and what I become.
It makes me feel a bit better thinking of it this way. Talk about one of life’s
greatest adventures. The Great Adventure of being my own self. <o:p></o:p></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ha ha, that made me just think about writing a
blog about this adventure. The Great Adventure of Becoming Me. </span></i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #ff33cc; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.119998931884766px;">And so here I am, starting a new blog as part of this new Great Adventure of Becoming Me. I want to chronicle this very important journey and thought that maybe some people out there would (hopefully) find my journey helpful in their own journeys of getting to know who they really are as they travel through their own great adventures of becoming them. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.119998931884766px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.119998931884766px;">At the very least I think this will be an interesting way to chronicle this new journey I am on. </span></span><br />
