That's a damn shame, I hope you meet someone who makes you think the gamble is worth it
No two loves are the same, you'll never feel the exact same way again and that's beautiful.
My first girlfriend came out as trans, and as I'm straight things didn't work out. It was incredibly painful and I still mourn the relationship of 7 years, but I also know that my current girlfriend loves me just as much, and that learning the little ways to love and be loved for each person we hold close is a journey that seldom has repeating steps.
The first time is always the hardest because you never know what's ahead. No two people are perfectly matched for each other, so after a few people you realize there's a lot of variation allowed in what you consider dating material as long as they match your core criteria.
You'll love again, and you'll be grateful in a somber way that the ones who came before helped you to be better, and showed just one more way to love. If you look for the exact same thing you'll probably never find it, but if you allow yourself to be open to new things, and to just enjoy another person's company you may find something you like just as much again.
Also, as a final note, don't go into a new relationship looking for the same feeling of security or whatever that you had with someone you dated for years, these things take time, nurture the love and communicate constantly and with the right partner you'll get it back.
I'm rooting for you folks, just take it one step at a time :)
Thanks for the clarification, I appreciate you taking the time! :)
Is that some kind of advanced seed box? At least that'll help keep my torrent ratios up!
Someone mind explaining the Nascar(?)/unionization connection? I've been seeing it a fair bit and I missed the context
Well seeing as one side is desperate to go back to the 50s/60s as far as rights are concerned, why not give them a taste of their own medicine and bring the tax policies back too?

I'd never heard of the charter of the forest before, that's pretty wild
Found the captain planet villain
Oh look! I didn't need one but there's another reason to embrace staying inside today
Barely hold back from loudly rooting them on?
Therapy sounds damn near mandatory from that response.
