👀 I ran away from home after breaking up 👀

Honestly what I did isn’t really the best solution / advice out there but it did help me one way or another so 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

1️⃣ I was blessed to have an amazing aunt & uncle who adopted me into their home for 6 months. I will be forever grateful to them because if not for them, i probably wouldn’t have had this much peace while going through a thunderstorm. Back at my own house, it’s always filled with loud noises where i couldn’t properly sort my thoughts out and of course, i wanted to avoid all the memories I had at home. (Yes I’m an avoider, thats my bad trait 😩) I had ample time to do my own quiet time without any disturbance and lovely companions, (her cat and dogs). 🥰

2️⃣ 🥳My sleep-till-5pm weekends turned into weekends filled with lots of fun & laughters. They practically take me everywhere they go and yes that includes hanging out with their friends. Whoever says that hanging out with “oldies” are boring, you’re definitely wrong! There’s actually so many things that we can learn from them. Just by seeing how they interact with one another as couples really made me realise how much I was missing out in life. I experienced things which i never got the chance to such as going for picnics with nice set ups and food, hanging out by the beach the whole afternoon and the list goes on~

3️⃣ This one was something that i really dreaded so much! Waking up in the morning to exercise 😵‍💫 it does feel great after the work out session but the before & during process was sooo tiring 😂😅 But well i managed to slim down and it made me feel good about myself. It was also an excuse for me to shop for nice work out clothings too 😜 Perhaps i should start cultivating this habit again soon and make full use of the new outfits which i got~

4️⃣ I had a mini makeover 👗💅🏻💇🏻‍♀️ I became broke afterwards (HAHA) and spending money have became a super bad habit so i wouldn’t 💯 recommend retail therapy because it’s really addictive 😫 I realised how important it is to feel confident and good about yourself for yourself . Prior to this, i never really went out to shop for new clothings and manicures were only done during festive seasons. Waking up earlier than usual to put on make up before work was how i kept myself distracted. Slow mornings really does feel good because i was always rushing to work 😵‍💫

5️⃣I created an OKC account (without any of my pictures. My profile photo was a goat) just to keep myself busy on my phone when i had free time. I’ve never met any of those people (i swear!!) But it got kinda toxic because all I could talk about was how heartbroken i was and I realised i was just trying to seek validation from people and thus i stopped eventually. 🤢🤮

6️⃣I found myself drinking more often even on weekdays where i had work the next day. Despite that I still couldn’t sleep when I got home. It was a really toxic habit where it got to a point that i’ll feel weird if I’m back home before 10pm. 😩 Never wanna go back there anymore! The friends that I made during that period of time were nice but at the end of the day, I knew that most of these would be just a temporary thing.

7️⃣Eventually when i cut down on my excessive drinking, I got into reading and the books I read were all Christian-related. Reading at least a chapter before going to sleep helped me so much. Somehow i could fall asleep better and i felt really comforted just by reading God’s words. At the end of the day, the best solution was still to run back to God and we just gotta trust that things will turn out better like how it has for me (Will share more with yall next time) 🥰

8️⃣Also, not forgetting my lovely friends who were always there by my side 🩷 They were the ones who would never say ‘No’ to hanging out till late despite them being tired from work 🥹 I really was a difficult and stubborn cow to deal with but thank you for being there for me.
