This life is mine
I live solo. No partner, no children, no fixed home. At 55, I travel through Europe with my tent, my laptop, and a heart full of curiosity. Not because I drifted into this life by default, but
because I chose it – again and again. I crafted a life that fits me. A life that breathes. A life that listens to rhythm instead of routine, and to soul instead of structure.
The beauty of self-led freedom
I’ve made my passion my work. I follow the seasons – both outside and within. I move when it feels right. I rest when my body asks me to. I work deeply, intuitively, in tune with the energy of
the moment. That’s what freedom looks like to me: not just movement, but meaning. Not just space, but presence.
Moments of stillness, not sadness
Sometimes I pause. On my birthday. On holidays. In a quiet café somewhere between here and the next destination. And I notice: there’s no fixed circle of people around me. No partner. No birthday
breakfast with candles and kisses. Just me. And in that moment, there’s a softness. Not sadness. Just… stillness. A breath. A tender reminder that this path I’ve chosen is not always mirrored by
the world around me – and that’s okay.
Freedom doesn’t mean bypassing feeling
There’s a myth that choosing freedom means giving up connection. Or that choosing to live solo means you’ve failed at love. That’s not my truth. Freedom has taught me to feel more, not less. To
be with myself, fully. To meet my needs, instead of waiting for someone else to do it. And yes, sometimes that brings up tenderness. Sometimes a wave moves through. But I let it come. I let it
go. And I stay anchored in the deeper truth: this is who I am.
This path takes courage – and it gives so much back
Living this way asks for presence. For discernment. For self-leadership. I’ve had to learn to hold myself, to comfort myself, to cheer myself on. Not from a place of lack, but from a place of
sovereignty. And in return, I receive so much: freedom, depth, connection to nature, to spirit, to others – not despite my aloneness, but through it.
You’re not missing anything – you’re living something sacred
There’s nothing missing in a life lived in truth. And yet, the world often tells us otherwise. We’re taught that success looks like a house, a partner, children, roots. But what if success also
looks like trust? Like choosing what is right for you, even if no one else understands it? Like waking up with a sense of openness, of alignment, of
grounded joy?
If you’re living outside the norm, know this: you are not alone. You are part of a quiet revolution. A wave of women and men choosing essence over image. Purpose over performance. Soul over societal expectation. That is sacred. That is brave. That is enough.
Follow along – or reach out
Right now, I’m on a three-month solo road trip through Europe – with a tent, a backpack, and a sense of home that lives within me. Want to follow along? Send me a message, and I’ll share my
PolarSteps link with you.
And if you find yourself at a similar turning point – wondering whether it’s okay to choose differently, to live freely, to walk your own way – I’d love to walk beside you for a while. I offer intuitive soul readings that help you remember what you already know: that your path is valid, your longing is wise, and your life is yours to shape.
