Totally normal and healthy, I felt like that when my relationship fell apart in 2014, didn't start dating again for about a year, met the woman I'm still (and plan to spend the rest of my life with) the year after that, the societal pressure to be in a relationship is real.

Just remember to take stock occasionally and seek professional help if you feel like something is wrong, otherwise enjoy your music.

Thanks for saying this. I had a partner who was divorced in 2019 as well, she really made it seem like she stayed in multiple crappy marriages to look good.

I'm grateful for a safe place to sleep and food, which is much more than I expected to have in my youth.
