I’m 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I’ve started to want to settle down. I know it doesn’t happen overnight. But recently it’s been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values.

On the one hand you hear things like “happiness comes from within”, but on the other we are social animals and 99% of us want to feel loved and to love.

    Grieve your past relationships, then let them go.

    Grieve the hopelessness of meeting someone that has your values, then let it go

    You’ll be happier and when someone lands near you you’ll be better suited for the relationship with more to give to that person than before.
