Am I scared to move on or enjoying my freedom? 😮‍💨❓

So I’m not sure what’s going on with my love life.

I want to be loved but at the same time I don’t want a relationship.

The thought of a relationship drains me honestly. I really like this one person but I’m just not ready to settle down and commit fully again.

For the first time in my life I am happy with being single. I finally learned how to love myself and prioritize my feelings. Why yes, I would love to date and things but I’m just not ready to give up this feeling.

The true Question is:

Am I just traumatized from my past relationship and scared to jump into another one or am I truly loving myself?

Is anyone else going through this or have been through this that could give me some advice on what to do?

... Read moreNavigating the journey of love can be complicated, especially when transitioning from a past relationship. Many find themselves questioning their readiness for commitment after a period of being single. To truly enjoy healthy relationships, it's essential to focus on self-love and recognizing one’s needs. The process involves understanding the difference between being content and being afraid of intimacy. Practice self-reflection and consider journaling about your feelings to gain clarity. Engaging with supportive communities can provide valuable insights. Seek out resources on personal growth and emotional healing, which can guide you through this transitional phase. Additionally, it’s beneficial to talk openly with friends or join support groups that focus on dating after heartbreak. Sharing your thoughts and concerns may help alleviate feelings of loneliness or confusion. Remember, taking time for yourself is not a sign of fear, but rather a sign of strength as you embrace vulnerability and reclaim your happiness.

For me it’s just a feast to see all you beautiful ladies. I still love myself cause I know God loves me. I have had 3 cancer operations in my face, 3 kidney operations can’t pass a bathroom without peeing and still GOD LOVES ME AND LIVE ALONE BUT GOD IS GOING TO COME TRUE AGAIN. Have 3 bedrooms 2 baths and an open door for Jesus and a wonderful lady. Maybe it’s you.🤣🤣👍👍🥰🥰🥰

I love fashion and freedom,
both are core "values" to me. I used to think I'd be braver, look better, feel stronger if I just had more confidence. I didn't realize I go to confidence, it doesn't come to me... wear the things, rock the dreads, breathe the breaths. You'll start to see how little
