Now that I’ve been single for a couple of years, I’ve reached a point where I feel like I’m better off not being in a relationship. Aside from relationships being a lot of work and money, it takes time I could be spending on self-improvement and doing nice things for myself.

Once I am finally out of this hell-hole nursing home, I think it will be more challenging. That will be the time to see how well I can choose who I want in my life as well as enforce boundaries. But until then, I’m focusing on what I can improve and solidifying what progress I am confident I have made.
