I try not to dwell

*hugs* No, it's not too late!

I hope you find your soulmate. Your poem was wonderful, but I'm sure it only scratches the surface for you.

I don't know if it helps to know, but to echo the sentiments of people who've said it's not too late... I was over 40 when I got married for the first time, and in my mid 40s when I had our baby. It was more important to me to know myself, and be the person I wanted to be in this world than it was to settle down, and once I felt settled within myself, then I turned around, and the right person for me was right there. I kissed a lot of frogs along the way, and spent way too much time in miserable, doomed relationships. But none of it was wasted. Because it taught me what to avoid, and I learned more about what I needed to from myself and my partner to be in a functional relationship. If you use what you've been through to your advantage to grow from it, you can become better for having had those experiences. <3

I don't think it's too late either, and I think that clearly that person was not "the one" for you.

We learn about ourselves and other people over the years, and we grow in our ability to understand how to deal with challenging situations. Most romantic relationships end, until you find the one that doesn't. But they do help you learn, and they are part of the larger process.

I hope you keep looking, and that you find someone who makes you happy and vice versa. ♥

I really felt the emotion of this. It's very relatable.
