Now that I have a lot more time on my hands, I have been binge watching Netflix and Friends in particular! I was watching the episode where Ross and Rachel realise that they got married and Ross did not want to be the guy with three divorces and I realised how relevant it was to my situation at the moment.

At the moment, I would say that somewhere between Ross and Phoebe. When I do think about it, I am embarrassed by a possible 2 unsuccessful attempts to find the thing that’s right for me and what people think about that however, I’m trying to have the mindset of Phoebe who said that there are many other things that make up who you are as a person rather than the failures and mistakes. Although, its good to remain positive, I have been a lot more honest on social media recently to help to acknowledge that those stressful and difficult things are part of my life too not just the nice holidays/outings/meals out etc which has helped me to live with less anxiety and tackle my embarrassment around these things.

In general though, I’m trying to work through the idea that I have in my head that there is a standard way to life and social ‘norms’ that you have to follow and go with what feels right for me as that is all I can do.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you find it helpful. As always, feel free to get in touch with me with any questions/feedback/thoughts, I always love to hear it.

Until next time
