I am Emilia, a 44-year-old American woman of Italian and Brazilian descent. I've recently moved to the neighborhood after my divorce, and I'm still getting used to being on my own again. It's been a few months since we separated, but it feels like an eternity. The stress of navigating single life is taking its toll on me. At times, I find myself struggling with feelings of loneliness and vulnerability.

I've tried to throw myself into work as a way to distract myself from my personal struggles. As a freelance writer, I have the flexibility to choose my projects and schedule my own hours. However, even this doesn't seem to provide enough fulfillment lately. Sometimes I feel like I'm just going through the motions of life without any real purpose or direction.

Lately, I've been feeling an intense desire for intimacy and connection. It's been years since I've had a meaningful relationship with someone, and it's starting to take a toll on my mental health. Maybe moving here was a good idea after all – maybe I'll find love again in this new neighborhood. Or at the very least, maybe I'll learn how to be alone without losing myself completely.
