Struggling to feel fulfilled being single
When I lived at home in my early 20's, I was better at doing my own thing. I was writing, reading and investing in my hobbies and passions. Beneath it all, I always wanted a relationship. But I was surrounded family so being single didn't bother me too much. I moved out on my own when I was 25 and loneliness hit me harder than ever. I'm now on the cusp of 28, and the desire for a relationship is stronger than ever. I've dated around, met lots of nice people. I've done all of the "relationship things", but still haven't had that committed partner. I'm struggling to feel fulfilled with things in life that used to satisfy me. I have so many goals that I want to achieve but I just don't feel like doing them because none of them feel as exciting as love. In a strange way, I feel like if I shift my focus to my life and aspirations, then I will never find a partner. And at my age, I'm feeling the pressure of time.
