    You sound a lovely guy and one day maybe the right person will come along but hey, maybe they won’t!
    The answer is to learn to feel fulfilled and happy with just yourself & not have that contentment reliant on other things….i.e. girlfriend, job, relationships. I am VERY old (LOL!) and have only just realised this secret…. after a few disastrous relationships where I looked for that other person to ‘make’ me happy.
    After a long, long struggle with life I have finally seen the light! I am working at doing what I want, spending time with friends whose company I enjoy and NOT chasing that elusive dream and amazingly I am the happiest & most optimistic I have ever been.
    Tomorrow may never come…. you need to appreciate and enjoy each day in it’s own right. One day you will look up and find everything has fallen into place and you are where you want to be!
    Tiny Buddha, Baggage Reclaim and similar websites do offer articles to help understand your feelings. As they used to say ‘count your blessings’ corny but true.
    Don’t be so hard on yourself, be kind…. I hope you eventually achieve inner contentment.

    I totally agree. Nothing will be gained by sending that text. You do need to stop looking back and look to your future and care about yourself. If you haven’t already, look at the Baggage Reclaim website. That, together with Tiny Buddha, certainly helped me understand my motivations and move on from a relationship that was never going to have a positive future. It was a long hard road ( & I am still travelling it after 6 months of no contact) but I now can see a brighter future. Making contact on birthdays etc just reopens the hurt and does YOUR self esteem no good! Look for something really good to do today to distract you. BE STRONG!. Good luck 🙂
