☆ After my divorce at 40, I struggled to do everything alone. The loneliness of everyday life was shocking.

I've been so lucky to be surrounded by friends and chosen family who rallied for me as I navigated the divorce process. I've always had many plans for the future: the art I want to make and the life I want to have. During those small moments, I'm hit with loneliness the hardest. I'm rebuilding my life without my partnerA week after my ex left, one of my closest friends cautioned me not to build my new life in the memory of this relationship. I bought new sheets and a beanbag chair to replace the loveseat that my ex took.

☆ My partner and I divorced after 19 years together. It wasn't the end of the world.

Nobody gets married planning to get divorced, and yet about half of all marriages end that way. This year I've learned even queer marriages aren't special or immune from this fate. However, this year, a few months before turning 40, I learned the life we had was no longer what my partner wanted. However, now that it has, I've learned that isn't the end of the world. I'm also learning that I like the new life I'm building — maybe even better than the one I lost.

☆ I became homeless at 17 after I came out. At 40, I'm now stronger for having survived.

I started visiting a drop-in center for homeless youth. I also couch-surfed until I was able to rent a basement room near the homeless youth drop-in center. I turned 40 this year — an age that so many of my homeless queer peers are never lucky enough to see. The queer youth I met at that time built a family with me and saved my life. I was immediately adopted into a community of other homeless queer youth.
