But that's "what's up with me". I suppose "not much" also works fine too.

And if my friends or family members have lost patience with me and don't know how to help or what advice to give me, trust me, I don't blame you. I'm just as fed up. I'm so tired of packing myself into boxes...and little segments of script. So I'll stop this thread soon.

I've gone through a tremendous amount of personal growth and learned so much. I have a very luxurious security net, NGL. But I feel like despite everything that's happened, nothing has changed. I find despite all my flailing, I'm still very much at square one.

Connecting the timeline points- two years later, I asked my husband of 5 years (and domestic partner of 15) for a divorce. I've been trying to reinvent and reestablish who the hell I am ever since. And yeah I've accomplished a lot. I've fallen in love again, I've made some AMAZING friends...

The longest I was anywhere was at my teaching job- a job I loved but where I was underappreciated, underpaid, lacked community and had no chance of upward mobility, advancement. Burned out, in February 2020, I announced my intended leave of absence. The next month CDC declared the Covid-19 pandemic.

Just today I went to a volunteer appreciation luncheon and there were some there who had been dedicated with the institution for more than 25 years. I wish I could brag that I'd found a place or group of people I belonged to. Where there was a natural segue into a stepping stone in my career.

After asking for a divorce, 6 months turned to a year, then 2 years and here I am...stuck in limbo, stagnant in my career search, and no less certain what to focus myself on. Moving out is a distraction enough but I dread reliving the all-too-familiar feeling of drifting without bearing.

I originally resettled here - my great grandmother's home - after I asked for a separation from my spouse. I had no idea how badly I needed a place to recalibrate, get my nervous system time to recuperate from the stress and anxiety of the past 15 years. I do not take for granted how lucky I am.

Granted, I have bigger, arguably better things on the horizon but nice distractions don't diminish how sad I am that this era is over. It was nice while it lasted.
