After our 24-year-long marriage ended in divorce, barely three months later my Republican ex-husband brought his Singaporean girlfriend and her 14 year old son to his family’s Thanksgiving gathering.
These are, simply, facts.
I feel so settled in my house now. I feel so settled in my new LIFE now. A few weeks ago out at the barn I adjusted my stirrups so they are one notch shorter and I could not believe what a difference that made riding, like I was finally in the perfect alignment and felt so deep and confident on Little Joe’s back. I don’t know why that took me two whole years to figure out, but it’s so good now. I thought I was comfortable, but I wasn’t. I thought I was steady, but it’s so much better now.
I drink better coffee. I sleep better. I go on better walks. I have a better social life. I feel better about myself. I feel better about how I move through the world.
I will always remember and honor the good times because there were plenty, but I see now how I was living. How I did not realize just how much better my life could be. I was so afraid to leave the comfort I had, I didn’t know it was like riding wrong in the saddle. You think it’s fine until you feel something better, and then that just blows your whole world wide open.

I am so glad that things are going so much better for you but please know that I’m shouting WHAT IN THE WHAT at my laptop on your behalf rn
This all sounds so good, except of course that first paragraph which sounds like a ringing in my ears followed by a huge whoosh of something spontaneously combusting.
This made me laugh so hard wtaf
