I (21F) for two years now have been constantly talking to people. They end things with me, I feel hurt, and I immediately find someone new, and then the cycle continues. I’m tired, and this cycle has taken a huge toll on my mental health. There’s this guy (24m) who ended things with me last month who I still really like, even though I immediately saw someone new after him, and that just ended as well. But just because I’m dealing with painful feelings for 24m, doesn’t mean that jumping into something new is the answer. I’ve decided to allow myself to just feel it, and to do things for me. Because I won’t heal if I ignore myself and put all my energy into other people. And I’m tired of trying to fill a void with other people. So I’ve deleted my dating apps, I’ve started going back to the gym as regularly as I can, and I’ve taken up baking as a hobby. I think this break is going to be good for me. (:
tl;dr : I’ve decided to take a break from dating to focus on myself and I’m excited about it.

So happy to hear. After recently going through a really painful breakup, I’ve started finding myself in better self-care and finding my love for cooking again. The best type of love will find you when you aren’t searching for it. I hope you continue doing well and I hope you stay happy and healthy. 😊
