Been single for a while now after a 7 year relationship ended really poorly. for a while I caught myself trying to force love out of lust. dating apps, eye contact that lasts an extra second, I started seeing the love of my life everywhere. Taking time with myself, without any sort of pressure, has revealed layers of love (both romantic and not). I can’t recommend this enough. Don’t close yourself off to love, but don’t try to force it when it’s just not there.
