When my ex-partner, who was emotionally abusive, left me, I completely changed our flat (he moved out) and did it super quickly because I just wanted to have a completely new slate and feel empowered. It’s been a while since we broke up, and I only recently am fully coming to terms with everything that happened but I know that this is the happiest I have felt within myself, knowing that I can rely on myself and am whole by myself and without him. It’s a journey, I think, and I know I had to learn how to rest again, and self-care, which helped self-soothe and slow things down for me. Sending you loads of good wishes xx
