Im becoming boring.

I’m a 35 year old woman, with 2 kids, 15 and 12. I used to love fashion, beauty, decorating, furniture, baking, cooking, and travelling. But the last 4 months I’ve had a really tough time. Our business has suffered a big financial loss, which might lead to closing our business. My husband had a really boring boring job, but he got a better one, meaning he’s working 15 hours a day. We recently found out that our daughter will have chronic pain for the rest of her life, and she needs surgery in februari. And on a good note, my son has found love for the first time in his life.<br><br>So I’ve seen a lot of good and bad the last couple of months, and I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and exhausted, so I’ve started a low key lifestyle. I stopped shopping for clothes, makeup, and beauty products. I’ve simplified our decor, removed most of our furniture. I started batch cooking lik 5 times a week. We don’t go out much anymore, especially not the kids, but I really don’t mind. All I want to do at home is cleaning and laying in bed. I’ve simplified lots of things in my life. I got rid of a lot of clutter, and I really enjoy the lik of clutter. I started going to therapy to cope with all the stress. I don’t really miss the old me, but I kind of do miss it and want to have fun again. But I feel like my priority right now is my mental health. And I want to take care of myself and my family, but at the same time I don’t want to forget how to live.
