Hi, I’m Gretchen. And, I’m a single woman living in Chicago. Emphasis here on single because I am trying to figure this out. I got divorced in 2009 and set out to find the husband I was meant to be with. Whelp, eight years later here I am, still single. I’m happy about that some days and other days I want to scream (or more accurately crawl into bed with Netflix and ice cream).

I don’t like that I find myself seeking versus just being happy. Here. Alone. So, I’m on a journey to figure out… “Can I be happy, like for real happy, alone?”
