Lookback: A chaotic trip to Singapore

Rushed into exclusive relationship after 4 days of breakup

I let James in too quickly after my breakup, ignoring my own needs and feelings. He struggled with insecurity, feeling I might leave him.

What I wish I knew
"To take more time to heal and process my emotions before getting involved with someone new."
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with yourself about your emotional readiness for a relationship, and communicate openly with your partner about your feelings and needs."
