Question

i was 21 when i got married to my ex, who’s Manglik — honestly didnt even know what that meant back then, just knew i was in love and thought we were gonna make it work. we were together for 8 years, officially married at 23. looking back, i barely even knew myself. came out as queer halfway through but stayed because i felt stuck, like i’d already committed. we had a kid, which i love, but it also made leaving harder. finally split last year and now im 31, single, and honestly kinda lost. i see my friends living their lives — traveling, dating, figuring stuff out — and i feel like i skipped the whole beginning. like i went from teenager to wife to mom without getting to just… be me. therapy helps but sometimes it feels too late, like i already messed up my shot. how do you start over when you feel like you missed the point? what if i just cant catch up
i dont even know who i am without that role

David Kim · Answer

I got married young too and lets just say it was a wild ride I was 20 and thought I knew what love was but really I was just trying to figure out who I was we ended up divorcing after 10 years and it was like my whole world was shaken up but I took that time to focus on myself and learn what I actually wanted out of life I started taking classes and trying new things and honestly it was kinda liberating you should try doing something just for you like take a painting class or go on a solo trip somewhere it doesnt have to be big just something that makes you happy and helps you figure out who you are outside of being a parent or a partner
