I remember this feeling all too well! my first love ended after 3 years right before my 21st birthday (and it was March 2020…right as Covid began!) I spent 3 very long years single, the way I yearned to be loved & to love someone in return was all-encompassing. But looking back, I am grateful things worked as they did, those were very painful & formative years for me, I am glad I navigated them single. I’m thankful for the breakup now & everything I learned before I ended up with someone new. I’m almost 26 now & my boyfriend is proposing sometime soon (ahhhh) I know the right love (or loves, who knows how many more lovers are out there for you) will come your way & light your world in all the ways you deserve. Try to find the joy in the now, even if that’s hard today. ❤️

I so remember being where you are now. I know it doesn’t help right now but just wait - your moment is coming and when it does you’ll feel so numb that you can’t believe it’s even happening. 20 years married for me soon and I still marvel at the wedding rings on my hand. Like I won some lottery or something and I’m so grateful to those that went before because they taught me what I was looking for.
