I Left My Marriage and Moved Out. Learning to "Be Alone" Changed My Life
Briefly

The author shares her experience of transitioning to living alone after her divorce amidst the challenges posed by the pandemic. Having never lived independently before, she quickly adjusted to self-sufficiency when faced with personal and external challenges, including school closures and natural disasters. Initially, the loneliness was overwhelming, but over five years, she found peace and empowerment in her newfound independence, enjoying the ability to parent her way and embrace her identity through personalized home decor.
