how to feel fulfilled?

false

i (22F) am currently working on self love and going through a breakup at the same time. it's been two weeks since we broke up and i miss her every day (it was an amicable breakup, no hard feelings in either direction, we just weren't compatible no matter how badly we wanted to be) but i'm mostly proud of the way i've been handling it. i haven't let myself fall completely apart. i've been taking care of myself, letting myself be sad but also making sure i'm not consumed by it, doing my positive affirmations, all of that. i've noticed that i feel more at peace with myself now and i guess i find it a little easier to like myself these days.

the problem is that when i'm not sad, i'm just empty. i've been trying to think about all the days i consider "good days" and all the days i feel truly happy and fulfilled, but she's at the forefront of all of them. i've started to feel like i can't feel fulfilled without having the kind of connection that i had with her. i know i can't have that with her again, and i hope i will eventually have it with someone else, but i don't know how to feel happy or fulfilled being by myself in the meantime.

i have hobbies, and i enjoy them, but it feels like i'm just finding ways to kill time. i have friends i love, but i don't have the kind of close companionship with any of them that i did with her. i don't know how to have that kind of connection with someone i don't have a romantic connection with, but i feel so empty without it.

i know it's obviously too soon for me to be "moved on" and that it's just gonna have to hurt for a while, but i'm afraid i won't be able to feel fulfilled even when i am healed. i was fine before her, but i had never been in love before. now that i know what it feels like, i don't know how to live without it. i feel like i can be fine without it, but just fine, not truly happy and fulfilled.

how can i find fulfillment alone when the thing that makes me feel the most fulfilled is companionship and romantic connection?
