Single and you're child free by choice and you're also lonely, doesn't mean you failed. Let's get ready and talk about it. Well, now you know there's really coffee in there. Hi. I'm Jess. I'm 42. I wear what I want and I also like to talk about things. So let's get ready and talk about stuff. Working title. Here's the shirt we're starting with. I think there's a misconception that if you choose to be child free and you choose to be single, that's because you like being alone. And that might be true for some, but it's not true for all of us. A relationship and a kid are not the only two ways to fulfill that void. Alright. I've got three options for pants. I'm not really sure which one I wanna wear. So let's go ahead and go through those. Let me tell you my qualifications for this topic real quick. Child free by choice. I'm single, also by choice. I'm also parent free by choice. No, this is a bit of a plot twist if you have been following me for a while, but my family is alt tier, super ultra conservative Christian. I walked away fifteen years ago. Also, I don't rank these are the pants. And I work for myself online without a team. I'm alone a lot all of the time and it gets lonely and it's okay to have human emotion. I'm gonna try one last pair. I love taking care of my friends. I love cooking food, eating meals with people. Here are my three hat options. After almost a year and a half of living on my own, I finally asked for help. I called all my friends. I need some consistency. So I'm moving in with my ex boyfriend. No. Not that one. Not that one. Like, they're in sibling territory now. It's it's not it would feel illegal. So So I'm getting out of town. I'm getting a fresh start. These are the two shoe options, but now looking at it, I feel like the Converse are just like the the easy go to pick. Alright. Here's where we're at so far. It's pretty warm today, so I don't need a jacket. I'm going bolo tie and scarf combo. Really loving using scarves for little necklaces. Cute. This is kind of my go to purse. I think this one, honestly, just with all the colors, is kind of, like, the obvious choice. Hey. Excuse me. I am working. We are going for a walk after this. It's beautiful outside. Deal. K. Sugar. Alright. Got Tonks' little fit here. Alright. Here is the final fit, and I'm gonna give you some final thoughts really quick. All I'm saying is that choosing to be child free and single because it's the best thing for yourself, your mental health, your family, generational trauma, whatever reason it is that you're doing it, I can assure you that I know it's not a selfish reason and it's not an easy choice to make. It's okay if it's hard, it's okay if it's lonely and it's okay if you need help from your friends because you don't have a partner or a kid or those types of things. Okay? Okay.
