June 2024 – Menopause Madness

Dating carried on in June, and I spoke to a guy for a few weeks. We seemed to have a connection online, and I went on a few dates with this guy, which were lovely.

May 2022 – Conditional Living

May for me has been quite an emotionally tough month for many different reasons but also a month of realisations and lightbulb moments too.
