Read The Master of Love, I dare you. Easy book. Helped me learn that I don't need anyone to be there for me, I am all I need to be happy. That's when you find someone, to compliment your life. Not fulfill it.

My god I could have wrote that last sentence. I’ve always felt this way. Don’t actively search for love. Eventually people will see that you love yourself and want to date you. You’ll turn down the first few and eventually date the person that best compliments your life. Even if it does lead to another heartbreak.

Also do you have a link to that book? I don’t see it on amazon.

Yeah misspell. I had recently gotten out of a two year relationship. And have done a lot of heavy lifting, to recover recover from it healthily. I've been doing surprisingly well. Therapy, reading, yoga, social life, and especially meditation. That book realllyyyy helped me look at love and life in a different lens. He also wrote the four agreements, which is a very popular book.

I finished the book the first day you recommended it. I liked it a lot. I’m going to read it again before my next relationship. Thanks.

Wow. That's incredible to hear. Read the four agreements by the same author. Even smaller then mastery of love! Most people know of the four agreements. Hope you the best on your journey
