Hey, I just found myself in this situation after leaving a 4 year relationship in which we lived together.

I’m now on my own from having someone around me 24/7 pretty much.

It’s hard to stay positive but I’m refusing to stay put. Don’t get me wrong there are days when I slip into bed and want to ignore the world.

So here’s what I’m currently doing..

•I have started volunteering

• Last night and took myself for that run I had been putting off for a few days (it was my first in years)

• I’m thinking of doing a new degree course

• I do weights from home (I’m working on getting myself to a gym)

• I walk through woodlands and photograph nature

• I hunt for graffiti online and I go find it and snap photos of them (personal interest)

• I’ve started talking to random people on Tinder etc, I swipe right on all and if someone wants to chat I will try my best to work on my social skills and form a good conversation. This has taught me so much about how I form conversations and taught me a lot about what I’m selling myself as.

• I’m soon to buy a drum kit and teach myself how to play. I’m going to sign up for lessons too so that I can practice the lessons at home.

Most of all - I decided I’m going to make myself proud and that’s what’s changed me.
