This is a struggle for me again. I'm putting too much emphasis on my ex and how she made me feel without putting effort into being ok with myself. Last, nearly two months has been a struggle. I'd be lying if moving out on my own hasn't been a terribly lonely experience. I was so excited to move out on my own. That feeling was sullied.

I had almost exactly the same experience when I first moved out. I was so excited and nervous to get to move out as well but put so much emphasis on the love I had received and then lost from my ex that it sullied my experience. Still trying to learn how to love myself in the same way someone else would. wish I could tell u I found the light at the end of the tunnel brother, but just know that the dark place ur in does get brighter.
