A Love Letter to You & Me (Patreon)

Simmies and friends,

I mentioned the other day I have a bit going on in my life and I wanted to let you know that I am going to be a little more absent in the next week or two. I wasn't sure if I should even share this all with you, but I consider you all friends and thought maybe some of you might be in a similar situation and needed to hear this as well.

I decided to end my five year relationship with the person I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I am very broken hearted and am having to pack & move in a very short amount of time.

Deciding to end things with him was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made. He was wonderful to me at first few years, but once covid hit he really was not kind to me and made me feel really awful about myself. I made every excuse not to leave: I am 31 and the only one of my friends who isn't married with kids. I am scared to date, what if I can't find someone better? Things were so wonderful in the beginning, maybe he will change and treat me better. Ending things means I wasted 5 years of my life... etc etc etc. 

But none of those things I was telling myself are true. And I wanted to tell you all that because none of us deserve that and if any of you are in a similar situation please remember to love yourself first.

A friend of mine made me the artwork in the photo above that I have had hanging above my desk since she gave it to me. Even though it was right in front of my face, I definitely wasn't practicing it for the past few years. If you can't read it, it says:

"You yourself as much as anyone in the entire universe deserve your love & affection."

I am losing a a lot and it is scary... but I am getting back ME. Please love yourself unconditionally and don't waste another day on someone who doesn't love you that way too.

I do have a few sets just about ready for release so I am going to try and find the time to get them out in the next few days if possible. If I don't I promise I have sooooo many sets lined up for release that your are going to get bombarded with new goodies the second I get my computer set back up.

Each and everyone of you bring me so, so much joy and happiness. Your love and kindness filled the void and lack of love I received from him the last two years and I can't thank you enough for that. I know you all are going to say so many wonderful and kind things in the comments (because you always do and are the best human beings on the planet), but if I don't respond to them I am sorry. I am just going to have my hands full of boxes, tape, and tissues 😅
