Middle aged woman taking permanent space from men *and* women, loving the peace.

I used to want a lot of things, the ultimate best friend, the perfect lover and 'just like the movies' stuff. Well. I've given up on people and life's never been better. I'm doing crafting solo, i'm not on any meeting apps, and I wake up each day looking to impress myself and no one else. The sand between my toes feels good.

Don't get me wrong, I have a few good friends that I bond with over passion projects and hobbies. But i'm done with shallow romance and flirtations, which are nothing but primal confirmations of skin deep attractiveness.

Bring joy to yourself, don't wait for someone to bring it to you.
