This is my first podcast. Recently I've been having a hard time trying to get around the idea of not looking for another person to fill my life with. Specifically in a romantic way. So, does the podcast that quite literally follows my coming of age of figuring out what to do to fill my life in ways that satisfy me to a point of not having to fill my life with another romantic relationship. I also touched on the idea of living for yourself and finding better ways of being independent. This episode is specifically for those who have a hard time trying to separate themselves from looking for something else to fill your life with and also for those who are trying to become more independent.
