One summer morning last year, I woke up feeling better. Feeling better implies not feeling great and that is when I realized there was some depression lurking in my life.
I took a step back and saw what was going on. I recognized that there were losses and situations I had no control over. There was only one event that I chose, and the others involved people dear to me.
I terminated a lifelong toxic relationship, a gift to myself when I hit a landmark birthday. Even though I chose this path, I grieved the loss of the good parts.
