Met the love of my life at 20, was the happiest person on Earth, after year and a half I've seen she lost interest in me, broke up with her, have been in depression since (am 27), life went to shit, have no friends now, no job, taking antidepressants.
😐 I have a pretty dramatic tale of heartbreak that involves homelessness and unexpected reconnection. It sucked. It still sucks. I thought I was about to have a normal life. But nope. Finding meaning and purpose in life beyond a relationship goes a long way towards getting over that kind of thing. Which is easy to say when it can be difficult to figure out what that purpose is. It's not easy but neither are relationships and when your life has a purpose you can offer more to a partner who appreciates that purpose and build a stronger relationship down the road
