I am used to being a social butterfly. I love to plan gatherings, go out after work for beer with co-workers, cook big meals for a "slew" of people....
Divorce made me retreat. Like a turtle in a shell. I felt the need to leave shared friends for my ex-husband. I also felt slightly reclusive, as though I needed to hide out for a while. To rediscover who I was. Who I could trust. Who wouldn't judge me. Then I had a baby. This flipped my world on its arse again. Being off on maternity leave for a year, while lovely for the relationship with my girl, left me feeling "out of sync" with work friends. I didn't connect that well with stay-at-home moms either, so I felt quite lost.
Now, I feel like I am back in my groove. My friends are a mixed bag. Work, old, new, virtual....
It feels good. I feel like Jennie again. The same, only different.
