Exhaustion

They never tell you just how taxing the process is of separating your life from someone.

Having never gone through a serious breakup, I found myself ill-prepared for the mental anguish, physical tiredness, and emotional exhaustion I faced (and am facing), as I navigate this journey.

Figuring out where to go, and when. What to bring, and what to say goodbye to. Who to see, and how. What to share, and what to hold back.

It is a series of difficult decisions coming at a rapid-fire pace. And the only thing pushing me through the pain and the discomfort is knowing with great certainty that the biggest decision of them all, the one that started this process, was the right one for me.
