I want to hold someone and have them hold me back!  Anyone else feel like that? I am missing the physical touching, the affection. I hugged all my friends here at DailyStrength and my cats and dogs. That helped some.smiley-smile.gif

I joined a photography club tonight because friends and family often suggest joining a club. I was not in great mood tonight because right before I left for the meeting the STBX called me and rattled me. Why does he have that power?  Anyway, I wasn't very bubbly and friendly, but I learned some new photography tips and am anxious to try them.

There is nothing better than being in each other\'s arms. That physical touching with someone you love, seems to be something we need to nourish something deep within our souls. I know it will take time...but someday you are going to meet someone else that loves you back the way you deserve. Remember, just one day at a time. Sometimes, when I am alone, my kitten will snuggle and purr, and it does my heart good. Your friend\'s shoulders here at DS...hopefully will give you some comfort. I know what that ache feels like for someone you love, when you aren\'t together anymore. It hurts like someone has been wringing your heart out.
That is so good for you to join the photography club. That is something positive just for you. I am praying that your heart heals, and that you meet someone new that makes you both happy!

I have found that a real help has been to find someone who is also in emotional need. I happened to run across a young girl (24) who broke up with her first serious boyfriend. She is in great pain. It really makes me feel better, to try and make her feel better. The hug she gave me last night after our walk and talk was wonderful!

I feel the same. It\'s hard. Pets are a great comfort.
Well done for joining the photography club.It doesn\'t matter that you weren\'t bubbly, you can wow them next time and you will. Can\'t wait to see your photos. Big hug xxx
