I feel like it’s a cliche but I feel I’m too old to ever find love. I’m almost 40 and have sacrificed so much on this relationship. I don’t understand why people move on so easily. it takes me years to just be able to exist and I feel I don’t have that time anymore.

when my relationship ended and i remember staring at the ceiling thinking i'd missed my chance. the breakup hurt, but the panic about time hurt too
i stopping the countdown in my head for a while, because every time i measured my life against a clock i felt worse.
do you feel like you're grieving the person more right now, or the future you thought you'd have together by this age?
both unfortunately
You’re never too old to find the love you give to others in another person. There is so many people and souls that walk this earth, there is an abundant potential of all the beautiful connections we can make with people. Don’t let the belief “I’m too old” be what you hold to be true, you know you deserve so much more than that and you deserve more than to be held back by that false belief. I understand it’s really hard to feel like you’ve invested so much in someone, and that you sacrificed time on something that wasn’t as perfect as pictured, and was thought to be forever. But you invested in a love that was strong, you felt it and a lot of people can’t say that they have. Going through these heartbreaks and learning from relationships with people we loved deeply, is what will bring you to the love you deserve, the love you given to others will find its way back to you, it wasn’t taken by someone from your past. It’s yours, and you know how to find your way back to it now that you know what was good about your past connections and what was bad, the past will guide you toward a future that will be even better than you ever imagined. You have time, don’t be anchored into thinking you don’t 🩵
thank you for taking the time to write that it’s very sweet
until you no longer exist...you have time. Do you actually know at your age what your.looking for?
I think I did. I knew what I wasn’t looking for at least.
stay motivated your a little older I'm 36 and started going to the gym and focusing on my own life after a long relationship broke terribly and it kind of opened my eyes.
never give up
im 43 this year and although it ended in April and only lasted a year, I finally got to experience what love is supposed to feel like. Calm and beautiful. All my other relationships were filled with toxicity and anxiety. You have time
