Life Lately...

It’s been some time since I’ve posted on the blog… which now, I really think of as more of a collector’s archive of favorite things. Life has been so full and so busy that I feel like I haven’t had a moment to stop, although I wish I wrote a few more posts now and then.

In the last few months, so much has fallen into place. An expanding network of friends, a new apartment to decorate, a busy social calendar, a good job, and an expanding interior design business. I have felt incredibly grateful lately… I feel like I’m seeing the fruits of my labor… of rebuilding my entire life after my divorce… come into being.

A life I never imagined would be mine, endless girls nights, lots of dates, a successful business… but most of all, a sense of peace. Of knowing my life is entirely my own, that nobody can take it away from me. There’s something unexpectedly healing about building a life from scratch as an adult woman. Choosing every detail yourself. Deciding who gets access to your time.

I think for a long time, I associated happiness with permanence — with arriving somewhere stable and staying there forever. But lately, happiness has looked much smaller and softer. Fresh flowers on my kitchen counter. Last-minute dinners with girlfriends. A quiet apartment at the end of the night that is entirely my own. Knowing what’s coming.
