Other people date for a month right after divorce, and boom, find the one! It’s just happening that way for me.
I think I am just going to throw away 2020. I won’t be able to do those adventures and activities I crave. Dating is a no go. I’ll just work . And come 2021, make a better commitment to making time for myself and enjoying life.
Would you want that? To date a month after divorce and just find someone? I think you know the irrational part of that statement, very few people are in a healthy place to date a month after their divorce. It might appear so, but that's just how the outside image looks. The FB feed looks great and all, but its not real life.
I understand the frustration at how long its been doing what you've been doing. Taking care of your daughter on your own, working and providing for the both of you, the daily chores that need to get done. Its exhausting and few people see the amount of effort that's really required when you do it all. I get it [censored] and you do deserve to have that healthy companionship after all the work you've put in. But try to focus more on the positives that have come out of it. You have more self knowledge of who you are than most people gain in an entire lifetime. Which is just one item in a long list of things to be proud of, things that are attractive and will eventually catch the attention of someone worth it.
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be
