Radiant,
I feel sorry that you feel alone, but, I am happy for you that you are. Does that make sense? It means you love yourself again. It means you know that you are better and you deserve better. You my friend, are doing what some people here are trying to do.
When you decide to look I know that you know go s-l-o-w-l-y And then go s-l-o-w-e-r . When you say you won't settle DON'T. Most of all I am going to give you advice I wish would have given to myself and advice I do give to my girls:
"never say this relationship is better than-------" Just make sure it is better. I have found that when I say "better than" it means I'm settling.
Be well,
BTW we are "here" with you.
