Hi @Spring_Elephant 

It’s encouraging to see you express your feelings around your needs and wants. It’s entirely human to yearn for connection and love and I can hear that you have so much to give. I can hear how painful your past experiences have been, and maybe disappointing and frustrating that trying to be emotional also opened you up to feeling hurt. It sounds like it took courage to share your feelings and I can see how brave you are for picking yourself up to be ready for love again.

Giving yourself time and focusing on self improvement are such important steps that you’re taking to heal. I can also hear how important showing up and acceptance are for you in a relationship, which are such healthy goals to strive for. I want to encourage you to keep an open mind to new relationships, whether they turn out to be friendships or romantic ones, you never know who you’re going to connect with. You’ll get through this, I believe in you!
