Separating with my partner of 10 years. Logistics are going to be rough since we’ve lived together for the past 7 years and I’m not sure he can afford a place without at least getting a part time job. We started dating a month after I turned 18 so I effectively have never been an adult without him around. Lots of adjusting to do, and fear ramping up a little. Somehow, having the official separation talk at burning man turned out great because distractions abounded, I was surrounded by a strong support network of friends and I could process the emotions without having to deal with mundane life management.

My work contract at the makerspace also ends at the end of the month. So the next while will be interesting for sure.

I wanted to go travel India over the winter but as a single young lady it might not be a good idea. I have to rethink that now.

Go some tickets for a Halloween party in Detroit, will probably Roadtrip down with a few friends. So there’s that to look forward to. Also planning to spend a month out in nature picking mushrooms, hiking and fixing up our trailer before winter hits.

It’s been a hard year. Hopefully with the changes, despite how hard they are, things will start turning around.

If there is a Hubski meetup in Detroit, I’ll fly up for it. Also, elizabeth, you’re a badass! You will always be a badass. You’ve got this!! It will be weird at first but it will all work itself out as it should. This may sound strange, but congratulations! Congrats on your new life. Onward!

I will be in the great state of Hawaii over Halloween, but I promise I’ll be thinking about you guys.

That's quite an upheaval. On the other hand, you sound as though you have a good line up of adventures planned, so I'm sure you'll come out better for it on the other side. Good luck.

I think we’ll both be better for it in the end - but it’s gonna be rough for a bit. Grateful to have many awesome friends around to support and distract. Not sure how long it will take me to actually date again or if I’ll ever find a life partner type of deal.
