Isolating from LD Love bomb

My heart has had a rough time from 2020 (See “Isolating”) to 2021 (“Long Distance Love Bomb”) and after that whole disastrous experience I decided to take a break from dating/love. I read self help books, listened to podcasts.. tried to understand and address the patterns that had repeatedly drawn me to men who were very bad for my mental health. Thankfully got over that asshole from my first 2 stories! I went back to college, started driving lessons, built up my self worth and felt stronger again.

Then the biggest plot twist: towards the end of last year I met someone, a friend of a friend, we clicked instantly and talked all night. We didn’t talk or see eachother again til a few months later, but that spark was there. We talked every day again, spent more time together and have been so happy together ever since.

So if anyone reading this is feeling as hopeless and pessimistic about love as I was, just know that you deserve healthy love and it’s out there. Focus on yourself and it will find you 💕
