Often when I feel a little sad, I panic... I worry that depression is on my heels, that I have done/ thought something wrong to induce this feeling.
When I am able to just "be"  to allow for saddness, and feel that it's ok.  That's wonderful in a way. There is peace in the middle of it. There is an assurence that it will pass, but it is OK for now.
I am glad for your ability to be in control

Ishana:
Write,

What I think is wonderful is that you aren't pressuring yourself into another relationship, but relishing the relationship you are cultivating with yourself, by yourself.  That takes a lot of courage and strength.  I'd love to hear more.

you know Ishana, I actually already met someone who I have very strong feelings for ( and I think he does for me ) and neither of us are ready for a relationship and quickly brushed each other off to pick up later when we're ready!
I wouldn't have known to do that before, last time I was single I rushed headlong into a very difficult relationship.
It really takes time and patience to get to know yourself and to SLOW DOWN!

I feel much more in the flow of natural things now, to say- if it works out that's great, if not oh well, something else will...I think that's due to unpicking all the subconscious things inside my head.
If it doesn't work out it just doesn't work out not the million and one insecurities ( nothing works out/ I'm unloveable/ I'll never have that special relationship/ all men are pigs! etc ) that plagued me until fairly recently.
But I also know that I'm still new to this- and it wouldn't take much to slip back to old destructive negative thought patterns.

I need to be OK alone before I can be OK in a relationship.

This is a nice article on rebound relationships
