Dear Mina:

This means you were alone before your boyfriend and you are alone after your boyfriend.

You were so happy with your boyfriend while in the relationship because, for a change, you were not alone. That was a wonderful feeling, something you always needed. You didn’t have it at home, with any of your parents or… anyone else.

It is a human need, togetherness, intimacy: to know and to be known for who you are, authentically. To be known not for being fake-nice, or for your physical appearance, but for your real experience of life, for what you feel, what you believe and value.

It is that togetherness that you need still.
