Know that when you eventually do connect with someone you can love, your happiness will be enhanced by just knowing that being in the relationship is your choice and not something you need or must have to survive. To have found someone you can share your life with is one of love's ultimate adventures. Not having a relationship doesn't keep you all warm and cuddly at night, however, getting yourself ready for a really great love relationship must be your highest priority. Being true to yourself first, it is well worth the wait. The pain seems to go on and on, though only if you allow it.
Healing takes time.
Stay with solitude. Don't be tempted. You must attain this awareness before you can be in a healthy love relationship with someone else. In times like these, when you are alone with your feelings, life can feel empty. You can gain much insight into the power of your attitudes in the stillness of looking inward.
