Who Am I? Just Call Me Tonia
I’m 56, almost 57, and I’m finally starting a new chapter. I spent most of my adult life in two relationships that, honestly, dimmed my light. Both were emotionally, psychologically, and verbally abusive. For the longest time, I convinced myself to stay because they needed me. I didn’t want to walk away, and in doing that, I ended up putting them first and forgetting about myself.
But now, I’m choosing me. This journey kicked off when I needed a passport to go to my daughter’s wedding in Antigua. I hadn’t held a passport in 30 years, and the moment I got it in my hands, something clicked. I realized, I can go anywhere. That changed everything for me.
