When They Moved On Fast

Written By Elizabeth Tubridy

You know what blows my mind sometimes? How fast my ex moved on.

Not just with anyone- but someone who tried to tear down my emotional well-being…who said cruel things to me, blamed me for things that were never mine to carry, and tried to make me feel small for finally choosing peace.

And while they were busy pointing fingers, I was busy healing. While they fight in front of my son, I was/am rebuilding a calm, loving home. While they settle for drama, I found real love-a man who is patient, kind, and makes me feel safe. A connection that feels like it was always meant to be.

I used to wonder why he downgraded…now I realize it’s because I was never meant to stay in that version of life.

Some people rush into new relationships to fill emptiness. Others take time to rebuild, to rise- stronger, wiser, and finally free. And that’s exactly what I’ve done.

I’ve risen- and this time I’m never shrinking myself again.

What did you discover about yourself when you stopped rushing your healing?

Elizabeth Tubridy

I’m Elizabeth — a mother, creator, and woman who has learned what it means to rebuild from the ground up.

This space was born from a season of deep change. After walking away from a life that no longer felt safe, aligned, or true, I began the quiet work of healing — not perfectly, not quickly, but honestly. What started as survival slowly became self-discovery, and then something more: a return to myself.

Through writing, reflection, and creativity, I share the truths I once silenced. Stories about emotional healing, motherhood, boundaries, resilience, and learning to choose yourself after years of putting everyone else first. This blog isn’t about bitterness or blame — it’s about clarity, growth, and reclaiming your voice.

Alongside my writing, I create under Earthly Enchantments — nature-inspired pieces rooted in calm, intention, and magic found in small moments. Creativity has always been my anchor, a way to process, express, and reconnect with joy.

If you’re here, maybe you’re navigating your own season of becoming. Maybe you’re learning to trust yourself again, or simply looking for proof that it’s possible to start over — gently, bravely, and on your own terms.

You’re welcome here.
