I'd like input as to how I can make the most of the rest of my life, and what gotchas to look out for. I've always had someone, so this is new territory.
Thanks.

I don't think that is how your life is going to be if you don't want it to be. You should be comfortable being without someone, but you don't have to feel like this is how you are going to be for the rest of your life if you don't want it to be. I know a lady in her late fifties, overweight, and wheelchair bound in a rehab center that gleefully talks about her boyfriend!
You are just going through tough issues. My ex fiance was 54-years-old, and I loved him tremendously and am currently pregnant with his child. I had to leave due to abuse, but that is a separate issue. You are too young to tell yourself you are destined for solitary life.
