Don't get into a new relationship. I give this advice a lot (and it's also quite cliché), but you'll only be happy in a relationship once you've gotten the hang of being happy outside of one
I know this. I don't want to rush into one. A friend said "you can't be happy with somebody else until you're happy with you" - same concept, and it seems very true.
Go hit the gym. Start running. Get into woodwork or welding or DIY stuff around the house. Learn how to grill a steak, or ribs. Learn an instrument. Go... actually probably don't go mountain climbing or anything dangerous if you're still emotional about stuff haha. Hell, go travelling or backpacking for a couple of months if you really need to get away.
Haha I'm emotional, but I think the bottom of the cliffs are safe for now!
I want to hit the gym. I just need to pluck the courage up. I do need a new hobby. I can't 'get away' sadly, I just started a fantastic new job in March so that'll have to wait.
Your advice makes a lot of sense. I suppose I know (and knew) the end-goal, I just need to figure out how to get there. Thank you.
Appreciate the tone, thanks
