Today I ended things with someone I’ve been seeing. He’s a really great guy and honestly I liked him so much. But he made me feel lonely. He didn’t love me in the ways I felt loved. I tried my best to put up with it, because I’m in my 30’s and I know he’s a great person. I held on because, just like everyone on the internet likes to remind me, I constantly remind myself of my age too. Today someone in chat told me I was “cooked” because of my age and how I’m still single. Contrary to his intent, it actually woke me up. No matter what age you are, don’t settle, even if you are scared of being alone. Find the love that you deserve. No matter your age, you deserve a love that makes you happy. I just turned 33 and I’m starting over again because I still have hope.
