He ghosted me

You may not see it as I do but.. good riddance.
If he wanted something further he wouldn't have laid back.
Passiveness = giving a chance to another guy to snatch you off.
I count it as.. he wasn't interested enough - you don't need that.
The truth can be cruel but... it is better than confusion.
100% if this guy wants to be in your life, he will.
If not, call it good riddance and enjoy your freedom.
Relationship is not as pink as it looks.
I say take care of your self esteem and wholeness before finding a partner.
Loving yourself enough to walk away when necessary is better than becoming emotional hostage to someone. I may sound anti-love here hahah quite the opposite. I am romantic beyond limits but too tired and exhausted with today's "standards" to to deal with bs. I am done rushing seeking and looking for a sense of confidence externally. I am working on myself and at least I see results for the work I do on my self-improvement. I have my lonely moments but I also enjoy my own company because I know I can invest time in helping myself and others around... I think helping people keeps me sane. If you do not like your own company... you will seek validation in a man... which he may not know how to give you.. trust yourself first... and you'll meet better people who recognize your independent side and who love you for who you are .... find and build who you are for a while... the rest will find its place .
