I wrote this essay "An Epidemic of Never Being Alone" for my Substack Matriarchy Report, when I realized that after I had my baby, I hadn't been alone in my home for any significant stretch of time for almost three years.

Many parents, especially women, are deprived of time to themselves, and in the comments it was wonderful to see how many women related to this. It was also delightful to see how many mid-to-late life women live alone and LOVE IT. Which no one talks about!

Loving this thread already!

Is midlife necessarily a crisis or is it all about getting real, unbecoming what we have been pushed to be and finally allowing ourselves to become that creative being we were meant to be from the start?
