On the bright side, giving up is a good thing. I mean, isn’t insanity doing the same thing over & over again, expecting different results? 
After my husband passed away, I seemed to navigate toward men who reminded me of my spouse in one way or another. I’d even ignore red flags because I wanted so badly to have that closeness again and do the fun things we once did together. After enough disillusionment, I finally gave up ~ not on wanting to be in a relationship, I’m still open to that. But I surrendered my unrealistic ideas of the right guy to God and am trusting Him to provide one… or not.
Either way, it’s all good because I don’t have to deal with that restless energy of looking for a "soul mate" anymore so long as I'm resting and trusting God. Father knows best.
