Fill your life with people who will love you in a myriad of ways

Your grandparents celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary, but you might have several different types of relationship, with periods of being by yourself too. Your relationship status might always be “complicated” but that doesn’t mean you’ve failed. Be mindful that sometimes the worst loneliness of all comes when you’re in a relationship but feel utterly disconnected from your partner. Fill your life with people who will love you in a myriad of ways, and don’t rely on a search engine to assuage your fears about loneliness.
