Things you do now that you're single

Good evening my Amazonian sisters!

I'm loving seeing the hilarious collages of our douchey ex-partners, and also collages of where we would like to be in the future too.

I thought in a similar vein it would be fun to make lists of the things we do either for the first time or restarted to do now that we're newly (or not so newly!) single.

For me, for the first time in many, many years I :

Always have gel manicures and perfect nails (no more biting them to stumps with anxiety)

I get pedicures on the regs

I visit the sunbed and keep a nice glow when I feel like it

I visit museum and art galleries solo and take my time being a nerd

I go to the gym often and enjoy making friends there without stress

I go out for mom/daughter dates all the time and treat myself and my girl

I read often and enjoy the peace and quiet

I go HOLIDAY and not stay with in-laws telling me where to go and what to do

I have left overs (lmao) and can actually meal prep in advance saving time

I get my hair done every month and never have that in between wack hair anymore

I go for a drink or a meal ALONE and enjoy the peace and quiet without judgement

I buy my daughter what she wants and needs without being judged for it

I study without feeling guilty

I tidy up and it stays fuckin' tidy!

So many little things. Little moments. Little blessings. All of the joy these simple things bring far outweigh any imagined loss I may have letting go of that deadweight.

​

So tell me, what is your list? I love to read all your success stories!
