I absolutely love this. I have never felt lonelier than within my marriage when we were having difficulties (which have now thankfully passed). I carry the ‘mental load’ for my family of 4 and hold the enormous emotional space required to encompass teenage daughters and stressed and stretched adult lives. My older sister lives alone, with her 3 cats, and her home is indeed an oasis of calm and tranquility. Her black cherry yoghurt never goes missing. No one uses the last teabag. She is not lonely, she is deeply content. Do I want that? Yes and no, I made my choices and my busy house feeds my soul, but do I crave that respite? Yes with every bone of my body. I want my space to be smaller, less chaotic, less full, more calm. One day maybe it will be so x
