I am Single and Childless; I am enough
I life alone; I don’t get lonely
I turn up alone; I am brave
I get sick; I’m learning to ask for help
I have a mortgage; I am responsible
I have a niece and nephew; I know love
I have never been married; I had a fabulous 40th celebration
I have pets; I am not selfish
I have been partnered; I love my own company
My family are overseas; my chosen family surround me
I’ve been heartbroken; I buy myself flowers
I don’t know who will look after me when I’m old; I’m making plans
I have never given birth; I have birthed many projects
I have had a miscarriage; I am a survivor
I am nearly 50; I have big stories
I have no one to pass knowledge onto; I mentor in all facets of my life
I am Single and Childless; I am enough
