Some morning encouragement

Great perspective. Sometimes we can lose ourselves in our shock/grief after a breakup and think we can never be happy again, and never again be able to meet someone we feel so strongly about.

In January of 2019 I was ready to get engaged with my on/off boyfriend of 5 years. There was a ring, there was a plan, but things started to fall apart. A few months later we broke up. I was devastated, because I sincerely thought we would be together. But I was sick and tired of the back and forth and the amount of compromises that had to be made, so I picked myself up relatively quickly after the breakup. I ended up meeting someone great a couple of months later from online dating and have been dating him since late summer.

This January 2020, we started off the year exchanging I Love Yous. I feel great with him and I'm really excited to continue getting to know him. You never know what could happen if you keep your heart open.
