I am 62 and am thrice-divorced. I can assure you that I'm not damaged goods- not that I haven't been down that road, mind you. If any one treats you that way, that's someone you don't need in your life. You are only as broken or damaged as you allow yourself to be. Life is too short to live it as "damaged goods." You are whole, complete, and wonderful just as you are.
You don't have to be with someone to be complete, but it does make things nicer at times. Enjoy yourself and the opportunity to get to know yourself. The rest will take care of itself. Or perhaps not. Either way, your happiness is in your hands.
