Dating post divorce

It’s a scary thought for me as I begin to think about my future after my divorce is finalized. Having been with the same guy since I was 17 makes it all the more intimidating for me. I know I’ll find myself through it all and learn more about myself but I hope I am not being too unrealistic in my expectations and what I hope to find.

Just a completely random thought.

I've never had to go through that, but I have to imagine it can be like launching into new experiences without the weight and baggage that weighed you down for the past XX years. Like you are free from what made you feel constrained and/or unhappy.

Kind of like the end of the school year, and the last bell rings and you are free for the summer. Even if you don't know yet how you will spend the summer, there is excitement in just knowing you have the freedom to explore.
