Unrequited LoveStarting Over

…I’ve always been an ambitious girl. I decided to set sail or rather set flight on a plane from my UK home to embrace the wonders of Dubai to improve my life. I had the support of my friends, family and a gorgeous boyfriend. I could take on the world and live out a lifelong dream.

Fast-forward a year and things haven’t gone to plan. The “love of my life” dumbed me 3 months in because he couldn’t take the distance, I lost my job recently and in 2 months I will have to move out of my shared apartment with a friend, because the landlord wants to move in.  And said flatmate wants will move in with her new boyfriend.

Yes, I was careful and saved the rent for the two months and will be able to eat beans on toast during this time but after that, I will have nothing and I’m on my own.

And that’s how I feel. Alone.

In case you’re wondering I did try to fight for my relationship. This was the man I wanted to marry. However recently I sent “love of my life” an email expressing how it hurt too much not to be with him and that although I had experienced a few great moments I couldn’t do it without him and that we should be together. His response: “I don't want a future with you. I have moved on and so should you. Take care.” I was and still am completely devastated.

What now?

Instead of running home crying. I am going to stay. I am going to fight for me. Usually very independent, it did take me a while to put myself forward on here but being (hopefully) resourceful I turn to you generous folk as I humbly ask for your help.

This fundraiser is primarily for a deposit to my new apartment to reboot my life and really explore this adventure I’ve embarked.

Of course there are other things I WILL personally have to do to get my life in order, and for whoever donates I am happy to update you with my progress. AND you if you happen to be in the dessert I'd be glad to offer you a cuppa!!

Simply, if you’ve ever experienced heartbreak you’ll understand the need to move on…
