I'm only 19, I have been in love twice in my life and 7 days ago had my heart broken for the first time. I just wanted to say thank you for this post, it's given me some hope that I'll love again. You've made me smile for the first time in a week and for that I am grateful.

You might be interested in some previous discussions on heartbreak recovery time and maybe this.

I hope the colours of the world start to brighten for you in the next while.

The most important part of your blog post was a single sentence: learning to live with yourself. It's also one of the hardest things to do, probably harder than falling in love. What you see in another person is what you want to see, at least at first. What you see in yourself are your internalized criticisms and faults. Once you learn to live with yourself and live with a sense of solitude everything else will fall in place.
