I don't have a problem with being single without any emotional attachment to another person; it's time for yourself, time to rediscover your true aspirations, time to make plans and achieve them without looking back at others, without trying to coordinate your life with someone else's. It's also time to look forward to whatever future brings and it's exciting! I love those periods in my life, they are filled with hope and determination!
Then there is forced singlehood, when you have strong emotional/physical/mental/spiritual attachment to someone else, but you cannot be with that person for reasons beyond your ability to change. And that one is a pure torture. It's been many-many years since I have been in a similar situation, and my feelings were not even close to being as profound then as they are now. I forgot how those unrequited feelings make you go literally crazy and I cannot wait to get out of this undesirable situation. I long to be my free self again more than anything else at this moment. I am reday to override all of those emotions trapped inside me, and be open to something new and progressive...
