I have read that a break up of anything more than disappointment implies dependency. It is good you are getting comfortable with yourself. We need to begin as comfortable selves before we get together with someone else. I have been alone most of my life because as an artist, I can’t afford another person. Our society dictates that women are cared for and children are cared for, which makes sense, but isn’t practical for someone, who constantly engages in creative projects that haven’t made money. I don’t do things for money. I do them because of the art. Until I find someone who understands and appreciates me, I will be alone.
