I am physically the same as I have always been. Maybe a little more grey, a little more wrinkled or soft in places. But I am still me.
But my interior is nigh unrecognizable. Motherhood has transformed me in ways I could never have imagined. My son showed me what it means to know unconditional love. A lifetime of agnostic atheism has been replaced by devout Eastern Orthodox Christianity. ☦️ I'm functionally vegan half the year. I dress modestly, but that transition was happening years before motherhood and my conversion.
Still working for the state. Set to be consumer debt free by summer 2028. Student loans should go with PSLF in 2030. Then, it'll just be the mortgage left.
Deleted my Meta and Reddit accounts as a 41st birthday gift to myself. I have no social media. (I don't count Tumblr, because I only come to make these posts every couple years now.) I am blissfully unaware of current events.
Marriage is going well. It's real nice to still actively enjoy the person I'm with after all these years. We've been together since Oct 2019, married since Nov 2022. We are well suited ❤️
