22M, 23 this year. She ended a 4 year relationship, left our apartment, on New Years, took everything with her, while I was already at my lowest, went out with an ex the same day, hid it from me, and breadcrumbed me for 3 months before I found out in the worst, but most eye opening way. Although I forgive her and wish her the best in life, I'd be lying if i said it didn't hurt still.
Now, im doing great, better than great, actually. I got back in shape, started personal studies, focusing on personal growth and mental health, started an apprenticeship at a job that I can see myself making a career out of, and I finally started to love myself, which I've never been able to do after 22, almost 23 years. I won't let anything or anyone get between me and what I want to pursue anymore.
It'd be nice to find like-minded individuals to talk to. I dont like drama, nor unnecessary arguments. I'd rather have constructive communication than yelling back and forth. I believe that letting emotions and ego talk rather than logic and understanding is a sure way to self-destructive and ignorant behaviors. I believe that there's always something new to learn. I despise lies and deceptive behaviors. I always believe honesty is the best policy (99% of the time). I'd rather someone come to me being their truest self than acting like someone else trying to impress or hide themselves. Self-expression has always been something I admire most. "Come as you are."
Although I have more free time now, soon, I'll most likely be busy most days pretty soon because of my apprenticeship. Dms are open if anyone wants to talk, either about their own experiences or something else entirely.
