It isnt going to fill that empty void thats been drilled into your soul.
Youre still going to have the same problems that you had when you were single.
Yourforever personcan be there for you, but they cannot save you.

They cannot change the way that you feel about the world.
You cant follow them everywhere.
You cant cling onto them.
Because youre going to be jealous when they go out with their friends and have fun without you.
Because youre going to feel gutted when they take a little too long toanswer a text.
Because youre going to act like life isnt worth living when you get into the smallest fight.

Not in the fulfilling way that youre meant to be happy.
You have to find happiness on your own.
You have to find a hobby that gives you the same butterflies in your stomach as your person does.
You have to find acareerthat makes you excited to get up Monday through Friday morning.
You have to find books that transport you into a world you wish you could experience yourself.
You have to find music that makes your pulse throb a little faster.
You have to find stupid jokes that make you laugh until you snort.
You have to find concerts and wineries and festivals youre excited to go to with your friends on weekends.
Imagine how hard that will break you.
Imagine how difficult it will be to recover from that.
You have to find real, raw happiness on your own.
You have to remember that relationships arent the only way to earn a smile.
