TBH that's where I am. After learning and slowly coming to terms with the fact that I was in an abusive relationship for over a decade, I'm now at the point where I want to do things she prevented me from doing.
Like buying a sports car. I can't really afford it, but I'm going to talk about it until I can.
Haha same actually, 5yrs here.
Good luck on the sports car!
I'm just happy to try new stuff without that lead vest of anxiety. Go skating, get back into backpacking, drop a glass and just sweep it up without the world ending. You know, simple things.
