Dear heartbrokengurl
I am very sorry to hear your story. It’s very hard to adjust to it while you see everyone around you have ‘achieved’ a certain stage in life.
I am also single at 33 and turning 34 soon. I just had a very bad breakup last year when my partner cheated on my with my very good friend.
I guess i had my part too, i was not very into my partner for a while and just string her along.
In any case, I feel the same as you do from time to time, getting a bit lonely and jealous of other people, but once you focus a bit more on how to make yourself happpy, try to commit to it, you will turn things around.
And I had a dream of having a happily ever after family when I was younger, some people have that chance but some don’t. and in fact, who knows what’s the best, they probably fight every day while you don’t notice only(I admit it’s kind of evil to think people aren’t doing great but thinking that kind of make me feel slightly better)
And part of the duty as a adult when we grow mature is to understand how to re calibrate your life, it’s hard, but that’s a way to attaining happiness I think
and yes, it’s not too late to start things at 34. I just did my 2 months backpacking alone and it instills new energy into me. some people think it’s too old and too tiring to do so but I try to do it anyways, and I am now safe home, proud of myself than ever.
I hope you will be at peace with your situation very soon.
All the best
