Independence
I bought a can opener. One of the first things I needed after my ex-spouse moved out of the house was a can opener. He had taken the electric one. I bought one for cheap – the handheld kind. When I used it for the first time, I started crying. In that small, tiny moment, I felt self-sufficient. I felt that I could take care of myself. Fireworks erupted inside my mind. I felt independent. I have found there is a fine line between independence and loneliness. As a divorced person, I may celebrate that I can have pink polka
