Party of One: Still in the waiting room

Hey lovers.... and friends,

So, I’ve been here before—talking about what it means to be a "party of one" and navigating the highs and lows of singlehood. The journey has been all about discovering who I am, finding peace in my own company, and learning to love myself. But here’s the truth: I’m still here, still a party of one, but with a little twist. This time, I’m really ready to find someone to share my life with.

Maybe it’s age, or that deep desire to create a family of my own, but something inside is shifting. I feel like those nurturing, motherly instincts are coming alive, and they bring along a bit of longing. My therapist recently asked me, “Do you have your own family?” She wasn’t just asking a question—she was offering a gentle nudge. She suggested that maybe I wouldn’t feel so alone in my grief if I had my own “person.” And honestly? She’s right. I want my person, my love story, my own little family.

I feel like I’ve spent so much time searching within myself, and I know now that I am ready. Not just to be any girlfriend, but to be the supportive, loving partner I’ve dreamed of becoming. I want to show up fully, to grow alongside someone who’s as committed as I am. And yes, I’m ready for the happy ending, or better yet, the happy beginning.

I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. Are you single? In a relationship? What’s been on your heart lately? What’s challenging you, or what are you hoping for? What's your 'dream' partner?  Let’s talk about it, and I mean really talk. Let's get raw with the details. If you’re feeling like a party of one, know you’re not alone.

Let’s keep this conversation going—I’d love to hear where you’re at.

Authentically, 

Tam
