Dear Society,
I hereby claim I have completed 25 years of being a successful housewife.
Please accept my formal resignation.
I will be moving into my own apartment on June 24th. I will be in a committed relationship with myself for the next 25 years.
I have been a traditional housewife since I was 20 years old. I’ve never lived on my own. My mom, grandmas, sisters, aunts, friends are all housewives.
I want to try something different. I don’t know that it will be better, it just won’t be what I’ve known and that alone is better.
Leaving always feels like giving up. But we were injured little birds when we met. We have healed and can fly now. So it’s time to leave the cage.
I reserve the right to do this however I want.
No labels or boxes.
All I know right now is that in a few weeks I will buy my own groceries and sweep my own floor and make my own coffee. And I’ll be sad and thrilled until it settles in that this is actually my real life.
Here we go!
