That does sound like a rocky old start to the year akafreelife, but you've survived it, and are here to tell the tale. Belated Happy Birthday to you for a start. Ok, love life, well it's taken me many many years to realise that love only works when you adore someone and they adore you just as much. Sounds obvious doesn't it? But it isn't that easy to accept. For a start, sometimes people say 'I love you' but they don't mean it, and we, hoping they do choose to believe them despite their actions. Sometimes, we choose to be with people that we want to love, but actually we don't, and often aren't so sure we even like them. Bottom line, second best is no good. We all deserve to love and be loved in the best way we can find. So, maybe your new freedom, which may seem painful right now, will turn out to be an opportunity for you to find your best? I do hope so.
Now then your car? Nah, can't offer any tips on that sorry. Lol. Spend a bit of time everyday doing something that's good for you, treat yourself as you would a best friend in trouble.
