they got lucky. so far you haven't.

live on.

some ppl are going to end up alone, btw. it's just the nature of things. is that you? i dunno.

have a pity party when you feel down and try not to stay in it for too long. also, i'd stop asking these ppl for help. b/c they don't have any. and most of what they're talking about is about THEM, not you.

(btw, this reply is me talking to myself, however at least you and i are in a similar place. i have stopped asking my coupled friends for advice b/c it became clear none of them have done anything i haven't done and yet they're coupled and i'm single. plus i've reached the age where many of my coupled friends are now breaking up...lol)

i find Luther's 'Any Love' is particularly helpful b/c it starts all sad and melancholy but then ends in a hopeful tone:
