You don't have to be with someone if you're alone. You don't need to feel as if you need to find someone new when someone has abandoned you.
People leave, and we know this already but that doesn't mean once someone is out the door then you must open it for a new lover. That's another tragedy waiting to happen. So give yourself sometime to breath a little, to live a little on your own. Give yourself some space, a tiny bit of it, and it will do some good. Give yourself time - all the seconds and all the hours of the day.Give yourself a chance, the patience you need to heal, to move on...your way, and at your own pace.
Is it hard to do? To just do it. Day in and day out. To live by it. You don't need someone to be happy. You don't need to rely on another human being to find what fuels you, you don't, really, you don't.
And yes, people are addicting, there is no lie in that. But what matters most is you... and I will say this...time and time again. People aren't meant to complete you... they aren't meant to fix you, to heal or to bring you back from some terrible doom. They are meant to guide you, to be there for you, to witness your flaws and to appreciate you for who you are...regardless of what happens in the end.
People, like years, they come and they go but it is what you have within that matters most.
And I hope you take the time you need to realise this because you don't need someone to fill the void, that is, after all, only something you can do... for yourself.
