Asked By: Vessa 41-45, F  8 months ago

I am trying to reconcile my mind to focus on what I have and not what I don't. I'm beginning to realize that the possibility of being single for the rest of my life is very real and probable. That being said, I'm wondering if, once you get accustomed to the idea, do you reach a place where you don't feel the lack as much?

    That's sad. It's very difficult to be young and brokenhearted. I hope you can get it together and get out of that cycle. Life can't move on for you til you do.

    No. I think it was first grade that the teacher had us draw a picture of what we want to be when we grow up. All the other kids drew firetrucks, policemen, doctors, or super heros. I drew a picture of a family. It is all I ever wanted and yet I'm further from it than any crack head or homeless person.

    I'm 35. Total relationship time since 21= five months. I hate being single. There has got to be at least five hundred million single women on this planet and none of them want me.

    We're in the same age group and I don't feel at peace with being single for the rest of my life.

    I'm not feeling it yet, but I'm working on it. Or at least not to worry over it or keep wanting something that might not happen.

    I suppose so, but I wonder if you can consciously make yourself stop wishing for something? Without evidence that it would be a worse scenario, that is.

    It does take time, and once you re-discover yourself, life will be great, and you choose your goals thereafter
